Quality Deer Management. Although written for American
conditions and an American species, the white-tailed
deer, the techniques espoused are adaptable and have been

management plans now in place on properties carrying
fallow deer populations in Tasmania. Recommended reading for anyone who is interested in management of deer populations. |
