Deer Stalking
At the present time the population of wild deer in the UK is the highest for generations.
As the largest land mammal to be found here the need for management of the population has never been greater. The potential for damage to agriculture and forestry is a real concern. Of the six species present in the countryside only two are genuinely native to these shores, the red and roe. Fallow are thought to have been introduced by the Romans, and the Sika, Muntjac and Chinese water deer are all escapees from zoological collections in our very recent past.
This is great news for lovers of good food!
Venison is a highly nutritious meat containing above average protein and no cholesterol at all.
It is unbelievably tasty too.

In the current climate of eco-awareness huge importance is being placed on the ability of both the producer and the consumer to verify the provenance of the source of all kinds of ingredients. The culling of wild deer sees the circle complete. The animals are taken in their natural habitat under no stress at all. The carcases are prepared and butchered and then cooked by the hunter!
