I understand that on most stalking ground people can't afford to leave Deer as cull figures and landowners have to be satisfied. I'm lucky that on most of my ground I can leave old Does be, as the trophy bucks in my area mean good money, for the landowners and me. Some may say an unwelcome factor in modern stalking, but a fact non the less.
I also have a few veg farms where no deer are tolerated at all, here the old Does are the first to get whacked, leaving dribs and drabs and a few young bucks moving through in the spring.
Cheers,
Mark.
