As we step into March, we take a moment to reflect on the previous winter cull season. The past few months have been quite a challenge, with relentless wet weather making stalking conditions difficult at times. However, the hard work put into selective culling will pay dividends as we head into spring, ensuring balanced populations and healthier deer moving forward.

​

With the doe season now in its final weeks, our approach becomes even more considered. This is the time to focus on any poor yearlings—those that have struggled through the winter—while leaving strong, healthy females to raise the next generation. Every decision now has an impact on the shape of the herd for the seasons ahead—obviously, these decisions are case and site specific.
