Venison - Red Deer

Red Deer is Wild Scottish game at it?s best, these majestic animals dominate the highlands of  Scotland and are flourishing in their natural environment.  Due to substantial over population a program of balancing out the population has not been in place for some time. This keeps the environmental impact in check while providing a consistent supply of meat. The shooting season in Scotland is stags (males) from July 1st until October 20th and hinds (females) are from October 21st until Feb 15th.   There are some estates which are licensed to shoot all year round as well.

Venison - Roe Deer

Normally Roe Deer is found in Southern Scotland and Northern England as well as other areas. A small cousin of the red, thrives in a more lush green environment.  Often you will see them grazing  in low lying areas. Again as the Red Deer they are thriving in number and  although they are hunted in much smaller numbers than the red deer they are consistent all year round. The shooting season is for the Stags April 1st until October 20th and then the hinds are October 21st until March 31st.
