Question
Does the Welsh Government support recreational deer management in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
We understand the control of certain species such as wild deer is sometimes necessary for wildlife management purposes such as to prevent serious damage. However, the Welsh Government does not support activities that are linked to the shooting of live quarry (animals or birds) as a leisure activity.
