    Patrick Galbraith - Deer, Politics & Public Perception

    In this episode of The Deercast, we’re joined by journalist, author and environmental correspondent for the Telagraph Patrick Galbraith. We dive into Patrick’s journey into stalking, and discuss the bigger picture of policy, politics and public perceptions of stalking. Among other topics, we explore: The paradox of rising deer populations vs limited stalking opportunities Whether public land (like Forestry Commission ground) should be opened up for stalking The growing acceptance of venison and deer management among the public How government policy is shaped, and where it often falls short The role of organisations, lobbying, and political awareness in field sports Why deer stalking enjoys better public perception than other country sports The importance of respect, for both the deer and the product Patrick Galbraith also shares insights from his work with policymakers and media, offering a candid look at how decisions are really made, and why confusion and lack of understanding can be just as influential as ideology. Patrick’s book Uncommon Ground is also now out in paperback, exploring many of these themes around land use (including stalking!), public access and our relationship with the countryside.

    Louisa from Lean & Wild - Feeding Britain with Venison

    This week on The Deercast, we’re joined by Louisa Clutterbuck, Chief Growth Officer at Lean & Wild and co-founder of Women Who Work in Field Sports. We dive into the reality of getting wild venison onto British plates at scale — from building a nationwide supply chain to supplying the MOD, universities, and major catering groups. Louisa lifts the lid on the challenges holding the industry back, from inconsistent handling standards and broken supply routes to the ongoing struggle for trust from supermarkets and consumers. We also get into the role of the modern deer stalker — or deer manager — and what needs to change if venison is ever going to compete with mainstream proteins. Along the way, we cover: Why muntjac could be the key to scaling venison The truth about assurance schemes and food safety Headshots, handling standards, and industry responsibility Protein sticks, gyms, and reaching a new audience Louisa’s own journey into stalking (and the emotional reality of pulling the trigger)
