Management stalking is non-trophy hunting where the priority is
to maintain deer population levels which ensure a healthy yet
harvestable surplus each year.
It involves the culling of surplus young deer
to keep the numbers down, and those with poorer heads, so that
a good quality deer stock remains.
One of the aims of management stalking is to retain
a balance between the interests of the Scottish landowner and the
resident deer population.
At the same time it allows the hunter to use his
experience and shooting skill to select the most suitable deer
for culling.
