Apparently the deer population is at its highest since the ice age. Getting oot o control. So should we no have a deer cull, sell aff the deers cheap (pun) then we could a live like a lord, if only for a day.
I'd reintroduce the wolf instead, probably wouldn't need that many to keep the deer population under control.
People freak out at the sight of a fox. A wolf would cause a national panic! That wouldn't provide an answer nowadays. In modern Britain their range is too limited and the role of nomadic stags has been lost in evolution, leading to in-breeding and a deterioration in the general health of the herd. It is a big problem and it leads to controversial and emotive arguments such as the case of the Exmoor Emperor a couple of years ago. It is no surprise people immediately think of their stomachs. But the management of land and wildlife is a very difficult issue and it should be kept clear of the vulgarities of the meat industry. Give the populace a taste for it and some basterd will soon be trying his best to supply the demand, without a thought for the specie and it's environment. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/wildlife/8089207/Death-of-the-Exmoor-Emperor.html
Though I certainly need educating, I don't think I'd have the stomach for it, unfortunately. Too many harsh decisions. I'd be interested in browsing the prospectus and any other related articles though, if you have a link?

I started this thread pointing out that a they extra deer running aboot could be done in and the meat handed oot cheap tae us wha canna afford such luxuries and you guys just turn the thread intae Jokers Wild. BTW Good laugh boys.
