Deer Management In The UK- Dominic Griffith

A practical guide to managing deer to their potential. With 25 years of professional deer management experience, the author shows how to manage deer to their best potential. Whilst much deer management can result in a harassed and pressured deer population, this invaluable guide demonstrates how a more gentle approach has the benefit of an unstressed, visible and truly manageable population of deer. The book concentrates mainly on roe and includes detailed case studies, including: a modern approach to cull planning, collaborative management techniques, plus 10 delicious venison recipes from 3-star Michelin chef, Marco Pierre White.
