Dartmoor deerstalking drama

Tom Davies of Dartmoor Deer Services is pulling on his stalking boots for the first time in months. He stood on a rusty nail and the infection means he has lost a toe. But that's not stopping the deer ravaging local wheat and corn crops. He has asked Ollie Williams from neighbouring Cornwall to come and see if they can reduce numbers. Find out how they get on.

The deer are causing damage to crops? well when most of the land is owned by farmers with pockets of land in between where deer are "allowed" to be what would you expect?

Lol anyone else saying take the shot ffs at 5 40

[@chris77777777ify]

Killing deer because they damage crops, that’s just stupid. Wild deer will eat anything they like, & the loss to crops is nothing worth getting bothered by. Dartmoor & Devon have such a small deer population it’s just wrong.

[@michaelknight153]

You are just making yourself look ignorant I live in Devon and we have a huge red and roe deer population which damage our crops and banks so we need to cull them

[@pitedapollo6175]

Do you have any idea how much damage they cause? If they cost you hundreds or even thousands of pounds in damage you would want them gone too. And we have a big deer population.

That's bullshit

Shoaib Ijaz eh?

[@pitedapollo6175]

No, its entirely ethical

[@tomom2011]

1) it's a buck, 2) if it were a doe in season then there is nothing unethical about killing it. That's how you manage the population.
