Yep of course there will be variations, one area I hunt even a mature red stag would struggle to make 80k gutted minus head and hocks while another less than 50km away as the crow flys I have shot several hinds over 100k gutted headed and hocked and a spiker just growing his first spikes over 100k, none had any fat over their rump to speak of but just big framed muscular animals on good tucker.
big old red stags can put on a fair bit of fat in the right country but not often I see it around here.
Fallow tho,jeeze the bucks can pile on the fat!
