As far as deer being disease ridden animals...hardly the case. I have never heard of anyone getting sick eating deer meat or handling deer hides / carcasses. Yes very small numbers of them carry "brain worm" AKA "chronic wasting disease" (similar to mad cow), but this number is extremely low at best and only affects other animals not humans.
