With all the gun laws in this country it is hard to see there being a suitable population of hunters who are able to make an effect on the deer population, and so the numbers will climb till nature finds the balance and limits their numbers. We could live in hope that the Government allows the use of Bows and Crossbows for hunting deer, as well as fire arms but that is not going to happen is it?

Wish we had Red Deer. You would think they would be on the North Yorks moors as it is very much like Dartmoor etc but as far as I know we don't might be wrong tho
