A highly detailed book on the ecology and economics of the management of deer in Britain. It addresses deer management as an integral part of forest management and attempts to dispel the notion that deer are inevitably vast damage makers and, therefore, a pest. It suggests that well managed deer can be a source of significant income, and includes details of all six species of British deer. With a foreword by Lord Ramsay.
