- The fallow bucks are wreaking havoc on Andy Crow's crops. He is out to get them with a heavy barrelled Tikka T3 in .243 with Steiner Ranger optics, Stalon mod, and 70 grain Federal V Shok. For more about this kit, go to www.gmk.co.uk
Andy says: "Please do not headshoot deer unless you are an accurate shot (five in an inch at 100 yards/metres) and if you need them to drop on the spot."

Why shoot deer?
There are more than two million red, roe, fallow, sika, muntjac and Chinese water deer in Britain’s countryside and semi-urban areas, the highest level for 1,000 years. Numbers have doubled since 1999, according to the Deer Initiative, the UK government’s deer agency.
Deer are an attractive and an important part of our wildlife. However, they have no natural predator in the UK so numbers must be sensibly and strategically managed to keep them in balance with their habitat and to prevent damage to crops, trees, woodland flora, gardens and other wildlife.
Deer cause £4.5 million-worth (Forestry Commission Scotland) of damage to plantations and other commercial woodlands in Scotland. Crop damage is estimated at £4.3m a year according to DEFRA, with the greatest damage on cereal crops in east and south-west England.
More than 8,000 hectares (Parliamentary Office for Science and Technology) of woodland with SSI status is currently in ‘unfavourable’ or ‘recovering’ condition due to deer impacts such as browsing and fraying. Deer can also influence the variety of wildlife in woodlands and other habitats by altering structural and plant species diversity. According to the University of East Anglia’s Dr Paul Dolman, that has resulted in a 50% decline in woodland bird numbers where deer are present, impacting particularly on nightingales, blackcaps, chiffchaffs and warblers.
Deer are susceptible to Bovine TB and may be responsible for the transmission of TB to cattle. They are also the likely driver behind the UK’s increasing tick population (Scharlemann et al 2008).
Happily, venison is a delicious meat. It is wild, natural and free range, and - almost fat-free - it is one of the healthiest meats available today. Results from research commissioned by the Game-to-Eat campaign (Leatherhead Food International Research 2006) suggest that there are real health benefits to eating game. Venison is high in protein, low in saturated fatty acids and contains higher levels of iron than any other red meat. - Sport
Quick, clean and professional. That's the English way.

I've be doing this for a very long time and had to deal with too many injured dear through attempted head shots, the misrepresentation that you somehow gain from higher carcase value is typical of those who shoot few deer, the simple logic is that there are many chances for a shot and so more deer in the larder with chest shots. And all videos like this serve to do is to further encourage inexperienced shooters to attempt head shots... and so even more injured deer for our group to deal with along with the explanations to the public and press that come with it.
Im glad to finally see someone doing head shots. Im not keen on heart shots.
Derpyderp head shots are risky. It's a much better idea to go for a heart or a Lung shot.
Headshot are most stupid thing you can do if you shoot over 500 yards with .30 calibre rifles and way too risky than a well placed shot near heart and lungs.
Deer Stalking certificate 1 told me to never go for the head at long range hunting.
James Dyer and if you don't suck they are going to drop like a brick if you get the heart.
Awww look at the lil deer, fucking adorable... kill it
Worried about damaging the meat, then proceeds to head shoot thereby thoroughly shocking all of the meat.
Fortyjustice what do you mean mate ?
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Head shot deer have the most relaxed tender meat of any deer I've shot.
Dont comment if you have no idea what you are talking about!!
