2008 has seen twice as many deer call-outs to entangled deer caught in stock fencing, discarded netting and electric fencing as dealt with during 2007. WRAS is calling on all landowners to remove discarded netting, store unused electric fencing and remove barbed wire on fencing with mesh fencing and wood rails to combat the growing number of deer injuries and deaths. If you find a deer caught in fencing do not cut it free, back off, keep clear and call WRAS for help.
