How do you mean properly manage the deer?
if you had a chance to take on an area to properly manage the deer what size area do you think you would be able to manage?
Thanks
Depends entirely on what the make up of the habitat was. If it was all arable farmland then you would need far more than if it was all native woodland and meadows. If it was a mixture of both maybe 1000 acres? But it is a very subjective question and also differs from species to species and how you intend to go about 'managing' them.
It would very much depend on the species involved too, and also what the owner objective was. If it were Roe and Muntjac, then you might have limited influence on 1000 Acres. If it were Fallow or Red, then I'd say you might have a chance of controlling them, but little chance of any structured management. A herd of Fallow can cross 1000 acres in about 3 minutes, and be on somebody else's land before you know it. Control? Perhaps! ... Management? probably not!
Thats the same sort of figure that i came up with, but it does beg the question why do some so called pro stalkers require 10s of thousand acre they cannot work it effectively! why can they not learn to share?
