I’m always super careful handling venison, but I often wonder why half of Germany didn’t die through the terrible stuff we sent over to them during the meat hunting era.

Some were pretty bad going into the freezer, a bit of fly strike was just something that wouldn't survive below zero . Then the carcasses were thrown on to an open flat deck for a 4 hr ride to town on a mostly gravel road wrapped in no more than a hessian sack.
Was a good feeling, sitting at the table watching the pages of the ready reckoner turning.
