I don't expect to live to see the deer menace (and it IS an ecological menace) alleviated. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Anyway - I suspect we are doomed to disagree - and whilst you may feel more qualified, it would be good to accept that other folk may not feel particularly at ease with the re-introduction of less than fluffy new animals (or even very old but locally extinct) animals... I claim no particular qualifications re lynx, bears or wolves, but I do not want any of them roaming around near me... |

There are100,000s of deer across the UK - most people simply never see them or are aware they are there. Apart from dropping, the failure of woodlands to regenerate is a clear sign of lots of deer.

The evidence is clear across most of the UK for those that have eyes to see. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Larry None here. Except in Bradgate Park. My neighbour claims he once saw a muntjac in the fields at the bottom of our gardens. No reason to think he's not telling the truth. I've lived here for 30 years and never seen any deer near here. |

In most places, very difficult to see deer - they are shy, generally active morning/evening and spend most of their time hidden in thick scrub in woodland. Larry |

Larry Except in those areas where, thanks to deer, there IS no thick scrub or woodland.. like much of the Scottish Highlands. Where deer are easily visible *because they have no such cover*. People wrongly assume that today's barren rocky landscape is what was always there. http://treesforlife.org.uk/forest/the-forest/ Janet. |
