Deer Management Groups comprise groups of estates or other landholdings which share access to a discrete population or herd of deer which is managed as a common resource. They have been set up over the last 30 years with the encouragement of the Deer Commission for Scotland, which is the Government agency with the responsibility for the conservation and control of all four species of deer presently found in Scotland. Red – Roe – Sika – Fallow There are now over 70 Groups or Sub Groups covering almost all of the open hill red deer range, and expanding increasingly into lowland and woodland areas where all the species can be found.
