The Doe I killed this year in SW Louisiana piney woods had more fat than what I normally see on deer in this area. Like most of the state, this area is very dry and very little water for the deer to drink.

I remember reading that deer get something like 80% of their water from the browse that they eat. But in this drought, I would think the plants don't have the normal amount of water in them.

more fat than

My dad said the spike I killed on October 15th had more fat than he’s ever seen on a deer. He’s been hunting and killing at least a deer a year on the same family property for longer than the 40 years I’ve been alive. It’s swamp, but it’s been dry this year so everything not wet grew grass. Also had vines of wild peas on everything.
