We offer species specific options like Muntjac for a number of our venison products including whole carcass, haunch on the bone and loin fillets*.
Both Muntjac and Chinese Water Deer are introduced alien species that are new, and many would say harmful, to the British natural environment. As browsers of the shrub layer in woodlands, they have reduced the habitat and nesting success of many birds in those eco-systems and are not much loved by bird watchers and gardeners alike.
Our Muntjac are supplied by gamekeepers, nature reserve rangers, and pest controllers in East Suffolk who are skilled marksmen using copper (non-lead) ammunition. Ironically this species is far more numerous in Britain than in its natural habitat in Asia and recreational hunters travel from all over the world to hunt Muntjac in this country.
Muntjac venison is very highly rated by game gourmets having a sweet, mild taste and a delicate texture (compared to some of the bigger deer species). Muntjac venison loin fillet and venison haunch on the bone are available as a lower weight option to the typical fallow venison cuts because Muntjac are significantly smaller than the other native British species.
*All the venison products shown on this page offer the choice of species to select when you add the item to your basket.
