Lady Canning's Plantation Deer

[nikki-red 307]

A couple of months ago myself and a work colleague tried (and sadly failed) to save an injured Doe in one of the car parks of the NGH.

Seen a few deer in the woods at Norton Lees and on Newfield School fields.

There have always been deer (red deer I think) that have visited Rivelin, Redmires, Ringinglow  and the surrounding areas 

etc, but I can't remember seeing them as often, or in such large a herd as this year.

 

I've seen them quite regularly during the summer in particular around Lady Cannings,  numbering 8 or 10 in the group, including more than one stag

Apparantley they are spreading all over, they need culling as they can wander where the want to.

They do not need culling.

They have no natural* predators - and there are many hundreds of them.

 

what do you suggest ?

Reintroduce wolves of course!

Eat them. The income can then be used to manage a healthy breeding herd and maintain their habitat.

I saw a deer last week cross Ringinglow Road and go into the woods just SW of the Norfolk Arms.
