Oh right, so the OP states the whole of the UK but you make a claim regarding a small part of the UK. Maybe you should have stated that you were talking about a small bit of it? However, that makes your post totally irrelevant anyway. However, it’s added to your post count I suppose!
Not quite a small part of the UK.
Agree with you 100%, there is no incentive whatsoever for his operation to see numbers reduced. I know the ‘home’ estate and numbers around the area are higher in the last few years. Part of the problem not part of the solution.
Surely his incentive is his online venison business and his group of restaurants which major in serving venison, no?
Well it’s less than 1/3 of the Uk so it’s not a large part, is it?
It’s a pretty standard thread. The same old regulars posting utter horlicks and me picking them up for it. Don’t worry, they’re on here spouting BS 24/7 so can’t have time to actually cull deer anyway. If they knew anything at all about deer, they wouldn’t be offering new comers free antlers to break their puppy’s teeth with! Fn shameful IMO.
So slightly less than 1/3rd of the global landmass is not a large part of the global landmass?
The way to incenivise this is to intro compulsory DMP's and measured outcomes for anyone getting agricultural, forestry subsidies or other public funding related to land ownership. Granted that won't capture 100% of the land mass but it would be a pretty big percentage
I still think that you would have many areas of land that would never get touched. Local authority,s have been taking massive amounts of moneys for planting regen and enhancing the nature reserves across our country with no management of wild life and a total we don't give a feck attitude. If they don't get grants they wont care if they get took to court they wont care if they are slapped (Ever with a section 7 9 10) they wont care. Compulsory DMP would not help at all in my area. Farmers don't need a DMP and they have enough on there plate.
Local authorities still get public money from Scot Govt so there is potential to inventivise them by withdrawal of a portion of that.
I'm assuming that you didn't do maths at school, Husky?And there was me thinking 30k was more than a third of 86k
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.
