Evening all,
There is a certain estate in cornwall who I have learned have a number of stalkers working together for the deer management. They cull in excess of 300 deer a year and have their own deer park too. I was shocked to learn that they operate a "headshot only" policy in order to maximise their yield when selling the deer on.
Not sure if anyone has experience similar but I for one think its disgusting. Not only to promote headshooting, which as we all know is a contentious enough issue without it being policy! Makes you question the ethics of such estates really and also the gamekeepers who run them. A headshot certainly has a place in the hunters options, but to make it compulsory seems absurd and unethical
By their own admission they have several runners a year operating under this policy
Wanted to share this as I've been raging about it all day
