As stated at the start of this thread could be nerve fibres/ connective tissues
You will find this in all deer just not noticeable in animals in good condition carrying good fat layer
In the deer I shot in Australia that were all in good condition but with next to no fat this was visible in all of them
Also the way you skin the animal has an effect as pulling the skin off stretches the fibres out more giving a worm like appearance
Have just finished butchering a fallow buck the fibres on top of shoulder we’re not visible as of fat layer but some advisable around bottom shoulder and also in backsteak

I can not recall of any deer I have shot that did not have this visible to some point

This pic is just a random one off the net shows the same
