 BASC takes a lead role as a representative body for both professional and recreational deer stalkers and managers. We contribute to the formulation of government policy, ensuring that all decision makers are aware that the most effective and humane method of managing deer is culling by shooting. In this respect deer stalkers represent a major resource for the effective management of deer, including the control of deer damage to farming, forestry and nature conservation interests.
In addition BASC plays a lead role in setting standards and providing training, for professional and recreational stalkers. This work is taken forward by professional staff working within with the Conservation & Wildlife Management Team working alongside the BASC's Deer Advisory Committee which comprises deer stalkers and representatives from partnership organisations. This committee is responsible for providing advice to BASC Council on deer related policy.
