South West Deer Group provides Devon deer management services

South West Deer Group provides Devon deer management services in Devon and Cornwall for Red Deer, Roe Deer and Fallow Deer.  We are a private group of only 4 members that have stalked together for many years.  Having only 4 members ensures that all culling is done to a specific Devon Deer management plan.  We usually stalk together as a team, being able to cut off escape routes and cover more ground effectively.  Each member provides Martin Bell with a daily stalking log of deer sightings as well as any other insight relevant to the Devon deer management plan observed when on the ground.  This dramatically increases our chances of success in achieving the correct Devon Deer management cull on any ground as well as having the ability to update our deer number density estimates.
