About

Venison and other game are a vital part of country life. Deer no longer have natural predators here in the UK, so this means that they need to be controlled. Provided this is done carefully and constructively, we can not only enjoy seeing these magnificent animals, but we can enjoy eating them as well. Low in fat, largely organic feeders, and in abundance – these all seem pretty good reasons to eat more.
