[QUOTE="Tymurrey, post: 147726, member: 859"] Wife shot what she thought was a doe this weekend with her bow and turned out to be a button buck. The thing didn't have much for fat on it at all and had to be the leanest deer I've ever skinned I think. these deer have been feeding off oats bales and feed barley bales all winter. The rest of the deer we seen in the area seem healthy but not sure how fast that can go downhill. I have been making homemade "suet" cakes with shortening instead of suet and mixed grains for the pheasants. Gone through 18lbs of shortening so far and the birds I've shot have been extremely fat where I've been feeding them the suet cakes. Even in areas where the birds have access to the inlaws feed lot and oats and barley bales they haven't been this fat. So not sure if them consuming large amounts of vegetable shortening is bad for them but between that and feeding pea screenings and oats bales they seem healthy. [/QUOTE]
