Can anyone help with where to actually purchase wild, lead-free venison from in England? My understanding is that most for sale is farmed, and that it's near impossible to establish if it contains lead when wild shot. Would love to find a good source.

While Toilet Duck and Dettol are trending, here's a reminder of the word 'ultracrepidarian': one who consistently offers opinions and advice on subjects way beyond their understanding.
