They only collect now from an approved larder. I enquired about dropping carcasses off recently and they don't do that any more.

Seems they’re also importing their venison from NZ now due to lack of Scottish red venison

That isn't a new thing. They have been importing NZ Venison for a long time. They have also been advising other AGHEs to drop their prices paid to the stalker. Thankfully the AGHE in question didn't!!

Both par for the course for many years I'm afraid, and not just them, some would say the UK venison market consists of an unhealthy duopoly..

Is it farmed deer that they are importing?

This has been well
Documented, we are in part to blame , IN PART before the pitchforks come out.

We drown him in stags for 6-8 mental weeks of the year (red-sika rut)
Top quality rutted out stags….

He gets very little summer stags of good quality at all.

So he has to get his deer somewhere.


I get that shooting stags in the rut is sporting fun and easy to sell to clients but that’s where it ends in meat quality terms.
