The Ethical Steward: Sustainable Deer Management Practices

Benjamin.
- Deer Manager

This guide is designed not as a comprehensive solution or an answer to every deer land management issue, but as a starting point for those seeking to address their specific needs in this domain. Having devoted just over two decades to deer management, I continue to find there's much to learn. In a modern landscape where time constraints and the quest for immediate results prevail, there's a concern that traditional land management teachings might be overshadowed by digital and technological advancements. It's my earnest hope that across the UK, seasoned deer managers will continue to impart their advice to those willing to learn, ensuring that the industry remains a valuable resource for future generations, just as it has been for us. Through shared knowledge and a dedication to the principles of land management, the essence of this profession can continue to flourish amidst evolving modern challenges.
