I think you can probably hunt them in Scotland. There tend to be two types of deer here in England: those who live as semi-wild herds in parks and those who are reared by farmers specifically for food.
The parkland deer do have to be culled every few years, I'm not sure where they end up.
But most deer are either privately owned, or are living on private estates.
Easy to forget what a dinky little island this is for you USAnians ;D

Hunting deer is controlled in Britain. It is a licenced activity limited to large landowners and those with oodles of money.
There are deer farmed for meat in a few places in Britain, but again controlled by wealthy landowners.

It's certainly not hard to find deer in the United States. In my state, they're everywhere! It's not hard to get a license to hunt here, either. It still isn't cheap, though. Beef here is injected with so many hormones and fed very unhealthy diets, making it a poor dietary choice. I substitute it for bison. Since it's still not legal to mess with them. Bison tastes almost exactly the same, though. Much healthier. Can't seem to find good old, grass fed cattle. So bison will have to do.

Oh, yes, venison and bison for the win! I'd like to be able to partake in the consumption of the traditional fare, but in this part of the world, no way. I'm going to look for grass fed cattle, though. Funny thing is, it's easier to find bison! There's even a ranch outside my home town! Grass fed, and organic. Best tasting bison I've ever had. It's hard to tell any difference isn't noticeable. It has a slightly more gamey taste. Like beef with a hint of venison. I'll tell you that the Renaissance Festivals here are a joke in that regard. No venison! Ironically, they're based on medieval times, no replicas of DaVinci's work! But, seeing a "knight" eating a cheeseburger and drinking a Bud Light (gross). No venison... No ale. I left when I got hungry.

Oh, how I long for some venison... I'd like to hunt with a bow and arrow sometime. It's rare to hear of anyone doing that these days, but some people still do it. I think it's called fair chase hunting here.
