As for why it takes them two months, those deer are so tame i'm pretty sure I cuold do the same job in two hours armed only with a hammer.

I think the idea of a cull is to mimic nature and take out the weaker specimens, I suppose that takes time to observe herds and work out which are diseased and weak, it's not an excuse for Texas Chainsaw Massacre (with a hammer)! If it was a question of getting it done as soon as possible they could close the park, borrow a machine gun and just spray entire herds with bullets until they got the number required!

again, talking about scotland here.....the problem is access to where the deer live...remote hillsides and large geographic areas...that are difficult to access...and even harder to pull the carcasses out.

i believe there is a helicopter and rifle option available for very difficult ground....deer also dont generally hang about in their hundreds and as you say, there are rules about which ones can be taken, and even what constitutes a good kill (you want the deer to be side on...aim for the heart....headshots are for amatuers)...

remember, the cull has to be as humane as possible (given that they are being shot), and suffering kept to a minimum.

mothers with young are a no-no.....

I thought the agreed kill pattern was double tap, move, double tap

air strike just to be sure.

Preditor Missle first, then call in a Pavelow and as a last resort a Tactical Nuke.

RC-XD, then Rolling Thunder, then the Attack Dogs

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Presumably the rest of the deer don't hang around after the first shot, or hammer blow, going "Oi, Joe, did you hear that big bang? Jim's down on the ground bleeding, shall we mosey over and have look-see?"

Maybe they hold a ceremony for their deerly departed.

Yes unfortunately so, quite a bad ideer to be making them really

I think the question's already been asked, but this cull: for my diary could you tell me venison?

So... back to the original question... is there a deer cull on at the moment? I need to cycle through RP tonight, ideally.

Not sure - you'll be alright before 8pm - after that pedal fast and in a zigzag pattern.

Don't wear any of those festive reindeer antlers, just in case.

I think it's over. Not noticed the warning signs this week anyway.

Last year I met a chap who did the Bushy Park deer cull. As it added about 4 miles to my journey I asked him why he couldn't just go crazy ape bonkers whith an Uzi and finish up in a night! Moral killings, clean head shot was the answer. I don't see how ending a proud stags life early can be seen as moral!!! They used to sell the meat to posh London hotels but now it's shipped to posh middle eastern hotels. Still pisses me off that they take 2-3 weeks over it...I mean, they shut the parks for 12 hours, how much culling needs to be done?

Loved reading this thread, I am assuming its all over now though, heading there in the morning to hoof round a few laps

Yep, all over now.

Went round this morning at 6am which was fairly eerey in the mist/fog. Was waiting for the crack of a rifle or the stampede of Deer tearing down the road.
