The JHT ones are from America, I found them a while ago on a taxidermy supplies website, as was also in the same predicament.

I have a Wildcat panther on mine, seems good enough and very small / light.

I can fully understand why, especially if you've seen a Fallow or Red being scored, it takes a long time. That said, unfortunately I think it will put some people off getting heads scored.

Contact Trevor Hughes, CIC scorer for Berkshire, he does lots for me and I believe does quite a few by post. PM me if you need his details, but they're on the CIC website.

With leg steaks, I find its more about the age of the animal. On a younger animal, they all tend to be fine, but on order bucks, better to be stewed or minced.

I've found the same this year, the does are like barrels, really good carcass weights

They seem quite fussy over the ground they'll live on, and happy to live in larger groups, rather than spread out like Muntjac seem to.

Sold to @2LI's - thanks

I'll PM you now!

Trespade TC8 Mincer, this belonged to my uncle who sadly passed away recently, so I am listing on behalf of his widow. It looks hardly used. £120 collected from Birmingham.

Get a Buffalo will last you forever, and will mince whatever you can put into it.

I think ticks are just part of deer stalking, they do slow up a bit in the chiller, but impossible to kill them all from a carcass.

I have a wildcat panther on mine, its nice and light and does a decent job.

I do see some merit in DMC1, but there's so many different qualifications now, none of which make up for real life experience.

I've had the Lakeland / Andrew James one and the Trespade, which are fine for small quantities of lean meat. Now using the Buffalo which is incredible, quiet and will go through fatty bits with no issues.
