If you do end up hanging your meat do try to leave as much fat on it as it hangs because it actually helps keep the moisture in. Also by reading what some of you have had to say i would say that i guess it depends on where the deer is from because up here in Alberta there is lots of fat on and in the animals like beef but it might be different in the south
Deer store their fat under the skin and not in the meat no matter where at in the country. It gets cold here and deer put on a lot of fat under the skin.
