And where is Robin Hood when you need him?

Too many wild deer are roaming England’s forests. Can promoting venison to consumers help?

There are now more deer in England than at any other time in the last 1,000 years, according to the Forestry Commission, the government department looking after England’s public woodland.
[The outlaw Robin Hood and his men lived in Sherwood Forest. They had no other means of getting food, and so they illegally poached the king’s deer. The hunting skill of Robin Hood and his band, however, enabled them to poach deer without being apprehended. – encyclopedia.com]
