To deer or not to deer?

[bru]

I heard a guy who insisited that the fat on his meat caused it to taste gamier out of his freezer than leaner cuts from the same deer also out of his freezer. I guess I could see a little truth in that. Fat cells contain a lot of impurities. What do you say? Alos, if you cut off thr ribs where they meet the spinal column are you still safe safe from CWD? I'd think so. Its in the cord isn't it?
