Whole carcass
- Thread starter Rogerp
- Start date
Drive around the B roads early morning. Masses of roadkill muntjac.
I worked in Cambridge for 12 years as a penniless academic and we got a lot of free venison that way. My old boss used to host a very posh summer garden party, with bbq muntjac as the centrepiece. He used to delight in waiting until people were cooing about how delicious it was before revealing it came off the verge on his drive to work.
Why go to the trouble of breaking down a whole carcass, only to find on the first mouthful the family don't like it? Better to purchase a small and nice cut from a butcher and see how you get on.

Where in Herts are you?
Wow couple of punchy replies here not being very helpful.
FFS, Someone wants to into their family to venison. Do you really think roadkill is the best start?
If no one local sticks their hand up and offers you a carcass on here, then couple of suggestions
Jim Riley at DVGM Chippenham might well sell you a carcass whole. Very professional deer larder set up you could probably have a look round and see and it might make your family happier. They also do butchery courses there so there are times when there may be lots of spare prepped meat
Join the Giving up the game Facebook group (national one and lots of local ones)
People advertise their shot game for sale. Sometimes butchered boxes other times while in fur or not
Would suggest burgers, stir fry, spaghetti Bolognese etc as the easy entries transition from beef rather than traditional very rare loin steaks

Muntjac doe in the chiller (in the fur FOC) but the fuel might negate the drive.
Pm me as I wont be leaving it in there for too long.

I am in Essex.
Punchy? I simply focused on a reply to the anomaly in the Op's post.
I'm happy to let him have a fallow but what the foook will he do with the c200lb leftovers when Johnny Op yells "Dad! I can't chew this horrible brown stuff"?

Would you like this muntjac doe in my chiller as you did start the ball rolling?

Not exactly on my doorstep (1 hour away) and I don’t have any carcasses hanging at present but if I do in the future then I will drop you a note.

You could try hijacking the peterborough game thread.
Offer to buy a roe.
Easy to skin, nearly always good in my opinion, not so massive you will be over whelmed.
If your not used to butchering a deer happy to talk you through
Im other side of cambridge to you if you get no joy drop me a pm in a few weeks and ill try and help out.

Put this lass on in the background and you'll be done in no time

Perfectly reasonable suggestion, especially if you’re on a budget.
I don’t see what the problem is?
