Looks better when it's covered in snow! The lone reindeer pic was taken on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen only 600 miles from the north pole.The others were at the North Cape of Norway. We visited a Sami (Lapp) camp and saw a tame-ish onewith its minder also a fine collection of discarded antlers, pics attached.

Don't think I've ever eaten reindeer but wouldn't refuse it if it was offered. Have had reindeer salami which was very rich and gamy. When we lived in the country we occasionally got deer that had been killed by cars. My Richard used to butcher them himself and we bought an extra freezer. We had hare too sometimes, also pheasant, all roadkill.
