If deer carcasses were fairly valued and paid for by game dealers.

It would go a long way to assisting in reducing numbers.

Its not the Game dealers that are to blame here. If people would eat more Game, the prices would go up - and that translates in better Game dealer prices for the Stalkers, and that translates in... more deer being culled. Price is a product of demand and supply.

Slider NS have taken on board my thoughts and will now run two head cull schemes. One level with Stirling and one south Lochness. (SIKA) Pilot. The one in sterling while large areas are public sector around 10 - 15% is urban and an area of high deer density This will be a (Red and Roe deer) pilot. While this will still be run by a government department the pilot should give results within two seasons. Then hopefully it can be run by private individuals.

Good news David.

I did read somewhere that New Zealand had become so overrun with introduced ungulates that they instituted a shoot and leave them policy even culling from helicopters to get the numbers controlled.

And apparently using a poison called 1086
