I’ve read this article a few times and its still informative. We have been providing fencing services for rabbits and deer for a considerable time but the demand for deer fencing has certainly taken off. I suspect there are a number of factors involved in this. Being Cambridgeshire-based we dont get to see many of the UK’s larger species- most of or fences finish at 1.7m.

I found the info: contained very informative and would be of use to anyone who had no knowledge of deer and some of the problems we have created by introducing non-indigenous species.

Also I agree that culling is the only effective way of control for the benefit of deer themselves, other animals, woodland, crops, and to counteract the bad publicity deer are attracting at this time.

An excellent summary – nice to see people writing about Deer who know what they are talking about!

I particularly agree with the the comments that Deer Fencing or a Deer Cull are the only truly effective methods to control deer. There are too many products on the market promising to solve deer problems that simply don’t work.

It was interesting to read the comments on the necessary management, damage caused and types of deer. I am a Deer Stalking Certificate Level 1 Holder (DSC1) and have been stalking for a number of years. The information given is precise, accurate and informative. I am a member of the British Deer Society (BDS) the Woodlands Trust and RSPB to name but a few. I can personally recommend Venison, it is a fantastic meat and is similar in flavour to beef.
