This is a topic that i have had many a discussion with being a forrester, the general public do not see or understand the damage deer can do no matter what you try to tell them, not just to woodland crops ie sitka spruce norway fir ect, but to native woodlands ie oak, alder, birch ect, that if a regulated cull of deer would keep the numbers and health of the animals at a premium and the enviroment ticking over nicely, plus the regular supply of very tasty meat and a knock on affect of ensuring employment in the countryside, it seems very simple to me why can't the general public see sence it really aggravates me.

Understand exactly where you're coming from,and agree entirely with you, but common sense and the general public, especially when it comes to anything rural or wildlife oriented, don't go hand in hand, sad to say. Been banging my head against a brick wall on this subject to many of my family and friends for years, to no avail lol, anyway,have a good new year, a l b shaaark

"Researchers found that sites with the highest abundance of the native animals had the lowest shrub layer vegetation cover" really id never have thought of that
