Scottish wild deer best practice guidance

Inspiring confidence

Visit the Best Practice website  where you can access a revised set of 74 Best Practice guides, published in July 2008.

The guides have been developed by Scotland's deer sector to provide you with the best information available on wild deer management in a format that is easy to access.

At the heart of the guides is the need for clarity on the law, along with three central aims;

• safeguarding public safety,
• ensuring food safety;
• and taking full account of deer welfare.

Public confidence in these three issues is essential if wild deer management in Scotland is to maintain the respect of a wider audience at home and abroad.
