Based on some sketchy, un-scientific dung plot counts and a few back-of-fag-packet calcs I figure a mean roe deer population density to be about 18-24 individuals per km2 in north of england sitka spruce blocks.
To maintain population, are people still looking to cull about 20%, with a weighting to does over bucks?
I was just looking over the South Wark FC cull contract and noticed that the cull target seemed higher than I would have expected for the acreage; are my figures way out? What population densities and cull targets per ha are you people working with?
Thanks.
