Is there any laws against it? Can it be done?

Certainly interesting .... Hmmm

[paulus 26]

you need a license

 

Capture and release [s.8, s14 Deer Act, Animal

Welfare Act 2006, Schedule 9 of Wildlife and

Countryside Act 1981 as amended]

For the purposes of removing deer from one

area to another or to take deer alive for scientifi c

or educational purposes, Natural England or the

Countryside Council for Wales may issue [and revoke

at any time] a licence allowing a person and anyone

acting with that person’s written authority to take

deer using a net, trap or stupefying drug delivered by

any means authorised by the licence and exempting

them from close season and night restrictions. The

Animal Welfare Act 2006 applies to captured deer.

Under schedule 9 of the 1981 Act it is illegal to

release or allow sika or any sika hybrid or muntjac

deer to escape into the wild anywhere in UK.

Although release of these species is prohibited, in

certain circumstances a licence under section 16(4)

of the Act may be issued to allow limited releases,

for example, of animals that have become entrapped

or have been rehabilitated. Restrictions are likely to

be placed on the conditions under which, and the

locations in which, such releases may take place.
