Willowbank.
Supermarket stuff is about consistency of supply and product, which they can get from farmed venison (mostly from NZ and eastern Europe). Our wild product may be better and more sustainable but that does count for much when it come to the multiple retailers.
Finding an outlet through a local pub or butcher can help but that brings additional regulation and cost unfortunately

Deer counts.But they’re not , hence my question if night shooting licences aren’t allowed in England why does every truck have a lamp ? Ah must just be rabbiting
And in case you are not aware night licences are allowed in England, it just they are much more difficult to obtain than they are in Scotland. The fact that Scotland has a much higher proportion of woodland and new woodland creation is a factor in that
Thank you!
Truth is, our shooting community will be harmed more by this type of behaviour than one can imagine if it comes into the public eye. Everyone involved knows the truth about these ruthless practices and blatant disregard for laws, rules and ethical standards - they are all putting the future of our sport and living into question.
what’s sickens me is the view that as long as its down by fellow hunters, they must surely be acting rationally and properly...BS!Yet they have high moral grounds...that’s called double standards..
and the notion that in Scotland we will never run out of deer,,,well, let’s just say that in the last 5 years, due to notorious culling practices on neighbouring blocks, deer population on my ground has gone from healthy (not excessive), to virtually non-existant.
a 10,000 acre hill I used to shoot and manage went from approx 100hind and 75 stag population to maybe 20 hinds and 10 stags due To the culling in adjoining woodland as they tend to be transient of course. Tell me that’s right! No, sorry, it’s opportunistic behaviour and with complete disregard for proper management of a species.
SNH is on par with James VI
Trust me, I’ve filed reports and complaints with various bodies already, extensively with areas, people, and references to dealer books. It’s being looked into, i can assure you!
I assume you’re one of them then...

Hilarious ! Your head could not be further in the sand
No one is saying you don’t act ethically! But that doesn’t mean the majority are, and the signs are very visible and documentable
just as good an argument as the unsubstantiated allegations by others
Indeed, and ‘new woodland’ creation, oh, more new Sitka blocks that within years are cold and dark and are not hospitable bio-diversity wise...and will be perfect for growth in boar population that cannot be managed..yes, super well done right there!!!

Nope
Explain then why every single piece of clearfell I see in Scotland is replanted with Sitka? Ok, a few birch trees and willow stuck around the edges for good measure, but there’s zero attempt to re-grow deciduous forests
