Hello again Wadasot,
I'm reading all I can find on Monks Wood because its very similar to the woodland I am trying to get permission to manage from the Wildlife Trust. They keep quoting Monks Wood management plans at me! "there is no need to cull muntjac, they don't do it at Monks Wood!" Is what they tell me. I get the impression from what I have read that they do! I don't suppose you know who does stalk it do you?
I could do with finding out and getting some back ground. Its a battle between me and the green cardigan brigade again! Face painting lental eating wildlife experts! Meanwhile the gypos are poaching the deer with alasation X lurchers. So I'm playing the long game, getting the info approaching some people to endorse my management plan and then I'll make them eat it! I think I'll get there, I just don't think I'll stay there long! No offence to A.S Cooke, its just spending all day reading about deer management from someone who doesn't actively manage them.
