It's all about the market. If you can find a big enough market in your country for raising deer to be economical to sell as meat, do it!
It's all about awareness, hunters, farmers and countryman know that venison is a tasty meat. But some people in large towns/cities may not even be aware of its existence.
I get all mine from my friend who is a game keeper.
If you can educate people on this meat then of course it has potential to become popular. It's healthy, lean, traditional and protein rich.
In the UK a handful of farms I know of raise deer for meat and they sell it to butchers, farmers markets and restaurants/pubs usually direct.
It's a great product and sells well here, it's even being slowly introduced into supermarkets too. Though it's cost does outprice a lot of people from trying it.
So to re-iterate it's all about education, awareness, market and price!
If you do get it running don't forget all the bi-products of deer and the products that can be made from hide, bone, antler ect...
