I have eaten everything NZ has venison wise apart from sambar.

Most of us agreed that the old red deer is hard to beat for all around eating.
It is generally always tasty and tender.
A lot has to do with how it is treat from the shot to the table.

All the red deer I shoot for the table are fringe dwelling deer. They live off grass and shrubs in creeks, riverflats etc.
I also eat a lot of fallow and the odd whitetail.

I still think after all things considered the common red is the best to chew on.

Send me a selection @R93 and I shall give you feed back.


For nz , red.
Stone sheep / long horn sheep, Mongolia, really rates up there for general animals.
