Deer Management

MIKE ROBINSON leads the business and is the vision behind it.  He is passionate about the provenance of food, food quality, sustainable harvesting and countryside management.  Mike is a renowned professional chef and hunter and 15 years ago started managing deer on land.  He uses the deer from nose to tail, nothing is wasted.  

​

The public and chefs are now much more aware of sustainability and where their food come from; this was the foundation for Robinson Wild Foods....passionate about wild deer, harvesting them in a sustainable manner, providing an amazing food source with local provenance, whilst getting a return and solving a problem for land owners.

​

We respect that every estate is different, that estate management teams have various objectives to achieve in deer management.

​

Fallow Deer are becoming an increasing issue; difficult to control due to their ability to cover large areas, grouping together in the winter which causes intensive damage in specific areas. 

​

Recreational stalkers have limited impact in controlling the species and and often misunderstand the management of them.  A prolonged buck season enable many males to be harvested, however does often get overlooked.  The result is much larger groups, and poor genetics; something we know how to redress. 

​

Muntjac can be easily managed and Roe need managing very carefully.

​

We can tailor our management practices,  putting together a full land and deer survey, cull plan and data collection in place.
