All of this with one little picture.
Well…it’s a pretty big picture. 
Two things you can rule out is CWD and EHD. Other than that, I've seen fat deer but nothing that size!
Well, it's not starving. Meat might be really tender. Somebody fill a tag and take some photos.
Or she's so old you need a really big slow cooker
Speck she is an older barren Doe, no fawns to pull her down this year.
I butchered a big doe in Northern Missouri last weekend that had more fat on her than I have ever seen on a deer in my life. Gobs of it. The small doe and the Buck were totally normal, but the bigger doe (closer to the cab of the buggy) was fat as hell.
The buck looked way bigger on the hoof. Ok 10pt, nice spread, but two broken tines and a smaller body than I thought. When I came up on him I was really disappointed. I thought he was a monster.

Yes, as expected! So why act so surprised then if you know better? Your statement is just proof of Bergmanns Rule.

I gained four and a half pounds waiting for my Kibler fowler. Perhaps...
