7. SOUNDBITE (English) Martin Edwards, head of Deer and Woodland Management for British Association for Shooting and Conservation:
"Whereas, a long time ago, we’d have wolves and bears and lynx, we have no natural predators for those deer species. So as in all natural systems, there is no sort of balance anymore with deer. They will reproduce and produce more young every year, but there’s nothing that will actually limit their numbers. To a point where if we had too many deer, they would literally die of starvation or this would come to a disease. So we’re trying to intervene before they get to that sort of level of population. So it’s all about sort of sustainable management."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Martin Edwards, head of Deer and Woodland Management for British Association for Shooting and Conservation:
"The real incentive for anybody is shooting deer is a good venison market. If, if there’s a ready market for you to supply into and you get an a reasonable price for that venison, then people will shoot more deer. So what we need to do is make sure the venison market is there, encourage more people to eat venison and make sure it’s British wild venison rather than imported venison from the farm. And, you know, make sure that there are good routes to that market."

"Brexit has made it increasingly hard for exporting which has really cramped our style on the export market. But we’re trying to, or we are increasing the home trade massively, but historically we’re not really a game eating nation, not like they are abroad, not like they are in France or Germany or Scandinavia as such. But the UK is becoming more and more aware of it and our trade is growing hourly, you know, in the UK."

27. SOUNDBITE (English) Ben Rigby, the owner of Ben Rigby Game:
"Well, Covid, I think that was another chance for the deer to boom, if you like, because the consumption of venison went right down because restaurants were shut, pubs were shut, hotels were, you know, pretty well closed. So the deer had a chance to, you know, breed massively during that time."
