Worth a watch from my view point.

Team shoot and move fallow to address numbers.
Extend seasons and allow 2 hours before sunrise after sun set.
Drive by shooting out the window. Green gralloch and mark carcass. Retrace route picking up carcasses later on?

Maybe driving,corralling ,penning for slaughter are techniques demanded with big groups. Like an outback cattle muster.

I found it interesting and very clearly illustrates the difference between "stalking" and "management".

Proves what a pain in the backside fallow are in large numbers (appreciate anyone who shoots fallow already knows this )

Night shoot as in Scotland. No idea what to do with urban deer though, much more complicared!

That's pretty much how reindeer are worked with in Sweden, though they are more like free range rather than actually wild.

Thanks, this was worth a watch. A nice distinction between stalking and culling without denigrating the need/want for either. As always, the ongoing issue of adjacent landowners and safe-havens.

Well done, an honest and candid account of what is now required in many areas to deal with the ever growing fallow and muntjac population.
