I know, I think it is crazy but there are people feeding it in crazy percentages. I limit mine to 10-12%. What is your opinion on too much fat? My understanding is 8% is going to lead to problems.
What kind of problems would high fat cause?

The runs!
You can search and find a good bit of infomation that says too much fat can limit ruminants' ability to digest feed in the rumen. As WRW said they can get the runs. I got that number from one of the Wisconsin farmers that has been in this business forever a couple years ago when we were having a discussion about feed.

High fat could / would be passed on too the fawns ,which then could cause scours.

I feed purine elite 300. My deer were eating about 1.5 bags a day. Now that the clover is growing the food consumption is about 1/2 a bag a day. Is the clover or the purine elite better for horn growth?

Deer chaser, it would depend on which has the higher protein content. Both should be petty good!
