Why is Deer Management Necessary?
Wild deer, and in some areas, wild boar, are breeding in ever-increasing numbers across the UK. A point is often reached where the overpopulation begins to impact on the wider rural environment where deer have no natural predators. Action needs to be taken to prevent damage to livestock, forestry, crops, gardens and also the wild deer themselves. This may take the form of carefully placed fencing through to harvesting a suitable number of animals per season as part of a deer management plan, to keep the balance with our shared environment.
The Benefits of Managing Deer
Once a suitable management plan has been created and acted upon, a healthy, balanced population of males and females will exist. There will be less pressure on the environment for food and browsing of valuable trees, vines and crops.
Traffic collisions with deer have increased over the past few years. This is likely due to deer numbers going out of control in locations near roads because of the lack of or inadequate deer management. When the population gets too high in a particular area, the deer spread out, resulting in them coming closer and closer to dangerous roads. By managing the deer population, this should help reduce distressing road accidents involving deer and people.
As a renewable resource, venison can be harvested to provide high quality meat. It is low in cholesterol and free from any of the additives you might find in similar supermarket products.
