Thank you for the advice,
the management have contacted defra, DI they will do everything legal,
this is why they have pratted about since march with their committe's and steering groups. i and the farm manager got p@ssed off with them and ended up speaking to senior management where it has now taken 2 days to contact the official side, i personally was going to cull all of them in season, as the crops are now high, i am hoping they give me authority this week to start and cull the bucks, there is not alarge number we are talking about 10-12 deer, because this relates to a high value to the damage i feel they will grant a licence i personally do not want to cull deer with young that i can not find, hence the question about others on the forum who may have had the unfortuate task to cull does at this time of year
