Yorkshire Deer Management provides a service which is beneficial to the land owner by providing a financially rewarding option to the much needed management of wild deer – which are currently undergoing a major population explosion.

We can offer management over any terrain covering arable land, stock farms, and forestry enterprises, traditional country estates, commercial orchards and small scale tree growers.

The service we provide means that we undertake all aspects of management including population census, equipment supply and installation, risk assessments, insurance cover, training and staffing.

Why manage deer?

Due to the fact that wild deer in the United Kingdom have no real threat from natural predators other than man, and the change in farming practices which now provide a year round food source, their numbers have grown remarkably over the last few decades meaning that now more than ever there is a need for them to be managed.

Deer are well known for the damage they inflict to forestry, and a grower who plants saplings without tree guards will find out why.

But the damage they do isn’t restricted to young trees; they can and do strip bark from any tree including mature woodland.

There is also great concern to the damage done to the woodland floor with many native flowers and shrubs being grazed to the point where they can no longer survive, which then has a knock on effect to other animals, birds and insect life.

Deer are also carriers of Foot and Mouth disease, Bovine Tuberculosis and Blue tongue, and as they don’t abide by landowners boundaries, they can carry infection from farm to farm.
