If you believe it hasn't been used to target deer you need to look a bit harder. It has been. This is just another "balancing act" in the constant juggle of animal numbers,human wants for sport,recreation and food Vs what's deemed best for the land and vegetation. Tahr is onto it. If it's legal it's legal,entirely up to you if you use it or not.
