I'm not sure that's the case. Given the timing of our deer season here in WI (post rut - or close to it), the bigger bucks generally have little-to-no-fat at all.

I'm thinking you've experienced an exception or two with the Partition. That said, when shooting a reasonably stout bullet such as the partition, I generally prefer to take out the running gear as opposed to one in the boiler.
