At last cold weather but it won’t kill off Deer Ticks
The weather has been mild for so long and then the rain made it very difficult for deer management.

How we operate
When it is considered necessary to reduce the number of deer on your land, we will operate under the strict guidelines laid out by The British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC), to ensure the welfare of the animal and the safety of everyone that lives and works on the land, as well as members of the public and any commercial livestock. Our deer culls will take place from a camouflaged and elevated A-Frame. This is for safety reasons, as previously explained, as well as a level of accuracy for an instant kill with no stress to the animal. We will also mark the date and exactly where on your land the animal was expired. Our work is always conducted humanely and with complete respect for the landowner, their business and the animal. We understand that there may be a negative reaction from members of … Continue reading
