Got my first doe this year, and I am noticing that the ground meat renders a lot more fat when you cook it and has a much greasier taste.
The butcher shop where I get my deer processed will add suet to the ground meat if you request it, but I always ask that they don't. Being so lean is the main reason I want deer meat. Plus, I find that if it is too dry for a particular use, you can add olive oil for better taste and a healthier lipid profile.
So, those of you who have had a lot of does and bucks over the years - do you think my butcher shop accidentally added suet to my deer meat? Or do you think that does in general are just fattier than bucks?
Additional info - my brother in law got a doe on the same property, and he was also noticing how greasy his was, and wondering if his butcher had thrown in suet despite asking them not to. Maybe this was just a good year for the deer and they got fatter than usual?
