Deer

Deer are widely distributed, and hunted, with indigenous representatives in all continents except Antarctica and Australia. Deer can cause problems for landowners and farmers, in particular, but can also encroach on the private garden especially if situated near deciduous or coniferous woodland.

It is important that populations of deer are managed to ensure their welfare and protect them from starvation caused by overgrazing.
