  What country are you from? Theres a few deer near me in the UK, and ive never even considered they could be pests. They look excellent to me.

  I cant eat them though, because I used to work in a meat factory and whenever we had venison to process it stank like fuck. Not sure if it does or if their supplier was awful quality, but its put me off forever.

    I think that in Australia they’re considered an invasive species, at least some species, as they’re not native, breed fast, and devastate local ecosystems to the point they’re seen as pests.

    In Europe they’re just part of the local fauna, and population numbers are well under control.

    Deer, rabbit, pig, goat, etc. are all pests and should be eradicated

    So I may as well be eating them

    In the UK their population needs to be controlled otherwise they will be a pest.
    If left unchecked they will devastate tree populations.
    If I recall correctly there was an estate who didn’t keep up with their deer culling and the army got called in with helicopters.
