Game - Venison
Not since the Ice Age has the deer population been so high. Currently totaling 1.5 million, their numbers are set to double within ten years. Government plans include extending the culling season and recruiting more deerstalkers. New EU meat hygiene regulations (as of Jan 2006) have resulted in improvements in game handling and storage facilities. This means that the quality of venison reaching the consumer will be better and more consistent.
