I would think it is completely renderable! I for one will be getting deer in a few weeks and will specifically ask for all the fat (and organs). What organs I don't get around to eating, I always put in the raw cat food I make! But, the only way I have been able to come up with answers like this is from taking a chance and trying things out. I don't want to eat raw fat, muscle, organ, eggs, dairy, etc. BUT I HAVE! I find them to be so cold and tasteless (not to mention the possibility of getting bugs!) that I don't wish to pursue eating that way. But, I KNOW that now, and it is only because I experiment with stuff.
I got some bison fat and rendered it, but it was the back fat. Then, on this wonderful forum, someone told me to get the suet (kidney fat) and also the bone marrow (best for pemmican - which I will be making once I get some bison bones!). I don't have a problem with the back fat tallow I have, but am anxious to try the kidney suet. I have already made arrangements with my processor on getting this. In fact... I will just call him up tomorrow and ask him to save me some kidney suet from his next deer butcher. Everyone throws that stuff away, so it should be no problem. Then, once he has set aside some bison suet and deer suet and bison leg bones, I will pick it all up and render it all, and then I will let this forum know what my experience was with the whole thing. That is how we are going to learn, since not too many people are messing with fat (considering the fat phoebe hysteria created by "health" professionals)!
Of course, if someone HAS had experience rendering deer fat, please let us know, so I won't have to mess with it.
