To deer or not to deer?

[Skyline]

Yes....cut off the ribs just back of the spine....you are OK.

Game fat does contribute to the gamey smell and taste. No question about it. Trim it off.

However, with deer ribs, good luck. the way it mixes with the meat over the rib cage makes it tough to trim. So, with newly killed deer you and your friends are best off if you boil them and then cook them over the fire.

they taste really good then and you do not have to worry about trimming them down later.
