Not if you know someone who is part of a cull at a Park. :biggrin:

He asked my Dad if he 'wanted some Venison'.

He turned up at the house with a whole animal, just minus the head!

like anything, you pay for the best cuts and best quality, but roe deer is in season all year round, so isn't too pricey really. Has very good delicate flavour though.

on average we get about 14lb of mince, 8 or 9 joints, and then lots of bits of other cuts, which depends how we want to go about butchering it. Quite like using a nice piece of fillet for wellington. nom.

I'm sure there's a deer/dear-expensive joke here somewhere.

Venison is a sodding deer. Anybody who would want to kill an animal as beautiful and majestic as a deer doesn't deserve the money to buy it regardless of how expensive it is.

So the value of life is based on how beautiful and majestic something is? Following this to its logical conclusion, would you argue that it's morally better to kill ugly people than to kill pretty people? I find this a somewhat disturbing attitude.
