Deer. Endangered Species???

[User00038]

BUT what I do know is that any register should not be run by stalkers or the old boys club will surface and we are back to square one .Needs to be run by landowners ,the people with more at stake than upsetting an old friend because he wasn’t invited .

I suggest contacting The BDS, BASC or the relevant deer management group if there is one for the area.Landscape scale deer management targeting of the correct sex/species,stalker and owner co-operation is key if we are ever going to realistically address the high fallow doe numbers.

Some people may not agree with me but far more team work is required.

This needs a bit of thought... but my gut feeling is that an independent 'body' with no other axe to grind would be the right way to do it and foster a bit of trust, so that the 'right' landowners can be connected with the 'right' stalkers.

I have spoken to landowners who now have no stalking due to a bad experience or who would like more effective management but are sticking with the 'devil they know' for want of finding someone more in tune with their objectives.

If anyone is interested in working together and thinking about how to do this, please do message me.

I think that figure of 400 deaths is incorrect. I believe there are around 75,000 reported vehicle - deer collisions in the UK each year, resulting in about 25 human fatalities.

I got it off the internet, so it must be right. But seriously, your figure seems much more believable.
