Feral deer are having a devastating impact on nature, farmers, foresters, gardeners and are a danger to road users.
Feral deer are emerging as one of Australia’s most serious environmental and agricultural threats. Victoria has four species of deer running wild and possibly the largest feral deer population in Australia, estimated to be over a million animals. The feral deer population is expanding rapidly, invading new areas and increasingly harming the environment and the economy.
