A Year in the Life of Fallow Deer, part 1

- Want to know how the UK copes with its fallow deer? We start our fallow deer series at the start of the buck season in August. We join a group of deerstalkers learning to shoot straight, and we look at the kit a fallow stalker needs, then we go out and implement the management plan. One of the UK's most recognisable large animals, fallow are an exotic species, and there are cull programmes underway across the countryside.

Why shoot deer?
There are more than two million red, roe, fallow, sika, muntjac and Chinese water deer in Britain’s countryside and semi-urban areas, the highest level for 1,000 years. Numbers have doubled since 1999, according to the Deer Initiative, the UK government’s deer agency.
Deer are an attractive and an important part of our wildlife. However, they have no natural predator in the UK so numbers must be sensibly and strategically managed to keep them in balance with their habitat and to prevent damage to crops, trees, woodland flora, gardens and other wildlife.
Deer cause £4.5 million-worth (Forestry Commission Scotland) of damage to plantations and other commercial woodlands in Scotland. Crop damage is estimated at £4.3m a year according to DEFRA, with the greatest damage on cereal crops in east and south-west England.
More than 8,000 hectares (Parliamentary Office for Science and Technology) of woodland with SSI status is currently in ‘unfavourable’ or ‘recovering’ condition due to deer impacts such as browsing and fraying. Deer can also influence the variety of wildlife in woodlands and other habitats by altering structural and plant species diversity. According to the University of East Anglia’s Dr Paul Dolman, that has resulted in a 50% decline in woodland bird numbers where deer are present, impacting particularly on nightingales, blackcaps, chiffchaffs and warblers.
Deer are susceptible to Bovine TB and may be responsible for the transmission of TB to cattle. They are also the likely driver behind the UK’s increasing tick population (Scharlemann et al 2008).
Happily, venison is a delicious meat. It is wild, natural and free range, and - almost fat-free - it is one of the healthiest meats available today. Results from research commissioned by the Game-to-Eat campaign (Leatherhead Food International Research 2006) suggest that there are real health benefits to eating game. Venison is high in protein, low in saturated fatty acids and contains higher levels of iron than any other red meat. - Спорт

Pleasant July evening with heavy coats and a fire.
Those first ones are small as
What is a rifle caliber?
The calibre is the size of bullet the rifle is chambered in. What he's shooting here is a 6xc which is similar to a .243 round. .308 is a very popular choice when it comes to deer stalking and is very versatile as you can reduce its power by reducing the grain count in the cartridge when shooting smaller deer.
Question for Andy Crow are you a referee for Liverpool and district
No - he's a farm manager from Kent
Fieldsports Channel thanks for the reply, I'm from Ireland and my rugby team were in england for the weekend and we played waterloo and west park and the referee looked a lot like Andy
Why are there not many whitetail in Europe
We have their first cousin, roe deer, instead. / Charlie

So these deer were brought in just so people can "manage" them?
I don't really consider that real hunting. But then again England doesn't really have real wilderness anymore.
this is disgusting... how would you feel if you young children were shot dead because theres to many humans??
@@gavincleere7751 You clearly don't know what you are talking about.
I do always wish that natural selection would take place amongst humans once again. Especially in this day and age.
