There are an estimated 1.5 million deer now in UK. We need to cull about half of these in order to protect habitats and other wildlife populations. Deer have few natural enemies, and they're getting far too numerous for comfort.
I like venison, it has a nice strong flavour, but needs slow cooking to make it tender.
My husband can't understand why I don't immediately stop the car and scoop up the corpse of a muntjac from the roadside. In Africa, any 'meat' at all is instantly conveyed to the pot. Protein is precious there!
