I've asked a few, and been knocked back. (If anyone would like to offer, I would be keen..........). It seems like they view the animals as an asset, rather than the noxious grass eating pest. As far as I'm aware there is not much of a export market left, and live capture won't ever come back like it was. Too many deer farms around now to supply. Maybe they are holding onto the hope that the export trade will return.

I don't like their chances. The deer numbers will continue to increase and they will become a real problem in the next few years.

(Sorry, dont mean to Hijack thread)

Largely because many Hunters can’t follow simple rules set by Land Owners.
