    Nice. From one of the game parks, or a wild one?

    I fried up a bit of Rusa for lunch today - tasted pretty good to me. Not sure I'd pick the difference from a decent bit of red deer steak. My experience with fallow has been mixed - some very mild, one young buck that was unpleasantly gamey. I'd put Red & Rusa equal first place ahead of fallow based on my experience.

    Fallow bucks can be rough April to Nov
