Roebuck

The roebuck or common roe is of a reddish brown colour, and though small is elegant in shape, and nimble. Plainly dressed it is not worth much, but when marinaded, larded or jugged, it is very good. The roebuck, in its wild state, has been long extinct in England, but is still found in the Highlands of Scotland, It is also found generally throughout Continental Europe and some parts of Asia.
