I have cleaned a few deer this year that had some red nodules in the fat right outside of the tenderloins.

I'm assuming they are blood clots, just dont think I have ever really noticed them before.

Any idea what they are and if they are normal (meat safe to eat)?

I've been told that it's lymphatic tissue. Don't really know if that was correct.

They are in almost every deer I clean. I have no idea what they are but I would not worry about them.

Yes they are part of the lymphatic system. It is the waste. No harm in having them there. Just cut around/remove them with out damaging them and all is good. You never want to eat the lymphatic system, spine or the brain due to the blue tongue/chronic wasting disease.
