(better than wild fallow)

I doubt if they would be better than wild fallow bucks shot in season in Tassy that are coming off stubble after feeding all night on spilt grain.These sort of bucks have an inch and a half of fat on their rumps,note 'in season' meaning shot before the rut stink gets into them.

Yeah no doubt you are right and Im sure there are other places like that too. I just know (my opinion) that your average fenced area up here with good pastures (farm - yes) produces a nicer tasting animal than the NE bush stags. I struggle to get my family to eat any wild fallow deer from up here but the farmed venison is fine.

Not so with the wild sambar venison though - it gets a thumbs-up from everyone. Shit we must have eaten 12kgs of it over Christmas with my missus family - no complaints!! That is good stuff... sambar pies were the biggest hit!!

Personally - I love ALL venison, properly cooked.
