Need a medium/large carnivore like we used to have hundred of years ago to keep population under control
We do have such a thing, humans. Deer are managed on private land well by trained deer stalkers or deer managers in England
@@nationalgamekeepersorganis9866 lynx can do it much more effectively though. Humans can’t walk through thick brush in order to catch a munkjac
Really informative, had no idea we had such diverse population. In Latton, Wiltshire we have a huge herd of deer. Not sure what breed they are, not muntjac though, possibly fallow. Only usually see them in the spring, it's a huge herd about 60+ I'm guessing they move off other times of the year.
British wild goats have inhabited Great Britain and Ireland for about 5,000 years.
Thankyou for this and the info, I’ve just downloaded the app as spotting different deer species regular over fairburn ings bird sanctuary Yorkshire and got the bug...I’m going to get more information on them as I’m not quite sure what species I’m seeing..
Got some great film this week of deer at fairburn ings nature reserve w. Yorks, I’ve just uploaded the clips to RUclips, check it out..Thanks
Thank you very Very interesting
Ive seen red deer and fallow deer before on the same day
I was at margam discovery centre
Great info, thanks, i've downloaded the app. Which species prefer to spend time in forests ?
Red, roe, fallow, muntjac and sika deer
@@nationalgamekeepersorganis9866 Thank you. I found a deer map too, i didn't realise the number of deer are a problem in some areas of the UK !
Imagine someone walking through the woods and finding a skull from a muntjac deer or a chinese water deer and not knowing it's from a deer the person might think it's from some kind of monster
One ran straight in front of me yesterday literally feet away, straight over the road, I can never get a photo as they disappear in seconds...This is my 4th sighting this year but this one looked almost rodent looking, was either roe or munjack..Do we have the Chinese water deer in North Yorkshire? Cos could of maybe been that..So magical, every time I see one I feel so lucky..
I'm really intrested in conservation and have a great admiration for deer specifically, how do you get to work or be involved in such field?
You should look at taking you Deer Stalking Certificate and speak to organisations such as Forestry England and the British Deer Society
Aren’t there reindeer in the Cairngorms?
I think so but it’s only like 200
Would of been much better if you had shown pictures of these beautiful creatures, rather than a dead skull!
Thats the first I've heard of Sika and Red deer cross breeding.Here in New Zealand we have American Wapiti cross with Red deer in the wild as well as on commercial farms.The cross breeds grow very large with the large frame of the Wapiti and the muscle bulk of the Red deer. Certain hunters will leave the near full blood Wapiti and pick out the cross bred to allow the Wapiti to breed up.
Yea but being honest NZ have no native land mammals whilst the Uk does.
Lol
When are Humans going to start managing their own numbers.
Lol
Squid-games
Red stag and roebuck are the only natives the rest need to go
Would that be your view on all native species? Do naturalised animals and flora not count?
People like you need to go👍
Can you keep the roe deers as pets, just having 1 or 2 in a small grass pen
You can't take deer from the wild to tame
That’s illegal.
That’s illegal unless you have a permit to keep them
Any reindeers or Caribou?
No we don't have those in the wild in the UK.
@@nationalgamekeepersorganis9866 Have they ever been wild before in Britain?
@@Nate_Luke good question, but not since we were separated from Europe (and we don't mean this January)
There are at least around 150-160 reindeers in the wild in UK. All introduced(actually reintroduced), nearly all of them are in Cairngorms/Scotland. Also at least 6 of them are in Helston/Cornwall/England.
Well in the wild there were reindeers in Scotland until the late middle ages/ 1700’s, now they’ve been reintroduced but aren’t completely left alone
Woooowww
