I threw out about 10lbs of it but saved the stuff in my picture for my dad.  He’s gonna try to render it, or cook with it, or find some other redneck use for it.

Post how it turns out. I have thought about it but thought deer fat was too waxy to be of palatable use.

From my reading, the bear was revered by indigenous peoples for its fat, a very tough thing to find in the wild. I put out the fat from the top of cooled deer stock for the birds and nothing touched it all winter! But that show got me wondering so will give it a try - need that fat doe first though...

Big buck in the driveway in front of the cabin on my way in. He couldn't make me out and wasn't down wind and didn't blow when he trotted off so I'm setting up close and waiting. There's a lot of doe beds near by.

Congrats @518BowSlayer!!!

well today was 1 of 2 days left I had off to fill all my tags. Got to bed early, had all my cold gear ready and when the alarm went off at 5 and I heard that wind howling I thought oh no. Checked the weather and the 15-20 mph winds weren't stopping soon and with a windchill in the teens and meat in the freezer I gave it a pass. I'm bummed about it but I'm going out this evening and maybe today will still be success.

i've heard whitetail fat isn't worth the effort (from the meateater guys haha), but i'll try anything once. Bear fat is where it's at I'm told.

Hopefully is doesn't turn out like the time I stunk up the house boiling elk parts trying to make hide glue during my make your own bow phase... an experiment that may had added to the pile of reasons for one of my divorces!

Getting ready to head up to my private land in 6g for an afternoon watch. I'm looking to fill one of these doe tags. Good luck everyone.
