New research states that 750,000 deer a year need to be culled in the UK as levels have got out of control.
The research states the population is 1.5 million, but most hunting organisations feel the population is more like 2.5 million.
But its easy saying this needs to be done, getting it done in a managed way is another subject.
The problem is most hunters over here don't shoot sufficient numbers of females when they are in season, too many males get shot which isn't the answer.
They don't have any predators in the UK.
Please don't suggest we need wolves, bears, cats, coyotes as some one might take you seriously!
