Born Hunter 17,788 Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Yeah you might be right but the habitat doesn't explain how Roe are living in Glasgow city centre. I wouldnt say poor habitat means there should be none, just means that they do not populate in large numbers. I might be wrong. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabid 1,936 Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 wish them crayfish would invade us Don't, just don't wish for that, we have them here and you could not begin to comprehend just how destructive they are, juvenile fish, eggs, even to the point of erosion in the banks, if you want some come and catch ours please.

Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Yeah you might be right but the habitat doesn't explain how Roe are living in Glasgow city centre.I wouldnt say poor habitat means there should be none, just means that they do not populate in large numbers. I might be wrong. I don't think you are wrong. To be truthful I haven't a clue, it's all just guesses. Of all the species of deer when it comes to fecundity Roe should spread the fastest really, they can have 2 sometimes (rarley) 3 kids every 12 months so why they aren't in great numbers in the Midlands with strong populations North and South is a mystery. Maybe the Yam Yams are just really efficient Roe killers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pesky1972 5,325 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 The Roe population in Scotland has exploded in the last ten or so years. We have them wandering in gardens around housing estates.., the roads are littered with their carcasses.., and councils are having to cull. Can't help thinking that the Hunting Act has caused the boom in numbers. Wonder what would happen if we all stopped hunting rabbits and rats ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How has the hunting act had that great an effect on Roe populations? Are you saying before the ban dog men were killing that many Roe in Scotland but not in England?
