What Is Deer Management?
Deer management is the process of regulating deer populations and culling any deer where necessary to ensure that they don’t cause issues in their habitat. Because deer no longer have natural predators in the UK, such as wolves or bears, their populations need to be managed by deer managers like the team at Riddex.
There are six species of deer that live in the UK, and of these, only red deer and roe deer are truly indigenous wildlife. Fallow, sika, muntjac, and Chinese water deer, the remaining species, were all introduced to the UK at some point in the past.
Deer management is highly regulated, and deer are protected primarily by the Deer Act 1991 and the Hunting Act 2004. The Deer Act protects deer welfare, and restricts harming them during closed season, which differs for each species and gender, as well as ensuring only humane methods are used to kill or take deer. The Hunting Act prohibits hunting deer or other mammals with dogs. For expert advice on managing deer, call 07706 674706.

Why Is Deer Management Important?
