Matt PrestonHOST
Give us a sense of the sort of size of this, the feral deer population and also obviously the feral pig population as well.

Jo BarrettGUEST
And I feel like since working in the wild food industry and the meat industry, that's definitely growing.

Jo BarrettGUEST
And it's probably hard to put a number on it, but I know that it would be over a million in Victoria alone.

Jo BarrettGUEST
And there's quite a few different species of deer, which was another thing I didn't understand.

Jo BarrettGUEST
Russa, hog deer, so quite a vast array of deer that really do span up the east coast into Tassie, across to South Australia, and they're starting to see them in Western Australia as well.

Matt PrestonHOST
I mean, there's no reason to say that a Wenzel Schnitzel shouldn't be the sort of thing you buy ready crumb from your local supermarket.
