The more wild Irish venison we eat, the less deer there will be, allowing those “wild forests” to establish.

1. we have to kill nature to save nature huh

2. Bring back wolves , problem solved !!

3. Do many supermarkets stock Venison? I remember years ago Superquinn started selling Ostrich, Kangaroo and Alligator meat. The ostrich meat was delicious and very lean.

   Don’t see it around anywhere now

4. If you educate yourself on how hunting is organised you will realise it’s very limited – you need permission / licence for each deer, it’s not like you go and hunt an mass.

5. Where is a good spot to get it?

6. But it Tastes So, Good

7. Where can you buy venison? I have never tried it before. I’ve always been curious.

8. … unless you start farming deer to sell more venison.

9. I have no idea if it’s the same deers killed for venison… but it’s pretty widely accepted that there’s overpopulation of deer in many places, and numbers need to be culled… partly die to damage to other parts of the ecosystem.

10. Wouldn’t that just communicate that there’s a growing market for venison, so more deer?
    Perhaps not wild, but certainly consequential.

11. Sorry is eating them good for the forest or bad for the forest?

12. There are hundreds if not thousands of them in the woods of the Comeragh Mountains overlooking Clonmel. You can see packs of them going through fields every day.

13. So it mostly tastes like moss and lichen? Idk boss

14. Very true…but this is probably farmed venison. Wild venison can be lovely but it can be very, very gamey. You’ll be tasting it for about 3 days.
