Settled for a good source of venison on the way back (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agreed

'settled' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a good source of venison on the way back' is the wordplay.
'a good' becomes 'ag' (I've seen this in other clues).
'source of venison' becomes 'deer' (I've seen this before).
'on the way back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'deer' backwards is 'reed'.
'ag'+'reed'='AGREED'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for agreed that I've seen before include "ratified" , "Was consistent" , "Concurred - tallied" , "Tallied - reconciled" , "Settled by common consent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
