Why is fresh game only available at certain times?



There are certain times during the year when fresh game is not available called the Closed Season. Certain species of game in certain locations cannot be taken during this time to allow the numbers to be kept up. However, because there are so many different species of deer, you will find fresh venison is available most of the year.
