Summary
This Glovebox Guide to Managing Feral Deer is a practical resource designed to assist Australian land managers (farmers, public land managers and Indigenous groups) to manage the impacts of feral deer.
A large part of tackling a deer problem depends on your awareness of the situation, and being informed on how best to reduce their undesirable impacts.
This guide aims to:
1. increase your understanding of where and how deer live
2. outline your options for control, and their benefits and potential constraints
3. summarise monitoring and management strategies/ techniques you could implement
4. help you develop a cost-effective deer management plan. The guide is structured to help you understand feral deer, their impacts and behaviours; then plan, manage and improve a control program.
