"Venison Festival!!!" Following last year, the Venison Festival was held again! Deer can eat crops and flowers, and collisions with cars can cause accidents, making them a troublesome presence. However, in Nishiokoppe Village, where deer are relatively numerous, some people are working not to treat deer simply as pests but to use them as a resource. This event was part of those efforts, a day to deliciously enjoy deer caught in Nishiokoppe right there in Nishiokoppe. Some participants were village residents, but the vast majority came from outside the village. Whole roasts, stews, hamburgers and sausages. Everything was superb, and many attendees came back for seconds and thirds. Thank you to everyone who came! #Nishiokoppe Village #deer #Venison Festival #meat #NPO Nishiokoppe Village Hunting District Management Association #Thank you for the meal"
