And was amazed at sheer amount of fat on this deer. It had a full 1,5" of fat over the backstraps and the kidney fat looked like it was sprayed in out of a can. Also, both front hooves were cracked. Thought that was odd for such an obviously healthy critter

I've butchered four deer this year so far (two does from the porch and a spike from a friend, plus my 8pt) and all of them have more fat than any deer I remember down here in Tennessee. Nothing to eat out there but old dead grass in hay fields right now so they will need all the fat they have.
 
I make lube for patch/ball/bullets with deer fat/tallow and bees wax. I have enough from the buck I just processed to make a few years of lube for me & my sons. Crazy fat deer.

It takes a lot of soybeans to make that much fat
 
Most of the cropland was corn, but he did one 40 acre field in beans. But plenty of beans across the road
 
Nice deer! Cracked hooves can mean that he is an EHD survivor if I remember correctly. I've killed several like that through the years.

Thats what i was thinking. But ive never seen a bigger healthier deer in my life. So i guess there are no lasting effects
 
The doe I shot back during archery season had a surprising amount of fat on her. It was reminiscent of deer I'd taken around agriculture fields in the past. She'd definitely been eating good somewhere.
