Since deer often feed in the same areas as cattle (at least here in the
Northeast) they must have the same pollutants as beef.  However, they
do not have the chemical addatives that are added to cattle feed at the
fattening pens.  I don't know which chemicals are worse, but I suspect
that the deer are less polluted than beef due to the steroids, etc.
that are fed to our beef cattle.  Plus, the deer do have some opportunity
to browse outside the normal areas where pollutants are used.

By the way, deer don't eat garbage unless they are starving, in which
case, it is usually in the middle of the winter or early spring, long
after the hunting season has closed.  Who would shoot a deer on a garbage
dump anyway?  Much less eat it.
