The other bit is how the hunting is done with the average hunter - if they go in and find a group the average hunter takes the stag or a spiker with the sticky uppey bits. This is the wrong option to reduce numbers, every mature hind that is left is 3 deer in two years and five in four years, and from then on the numbers increase exponentially as the offspring mature. The other issue is sustained pressure results in ghosts who sneak and give you a lesson in geographic knowledge and how easy they can disappear into nothing!
