Welcome to The Deer HUB

The home of ambitious and sustainable solutions for everyone involved with deer.

Deer Stalking

We offer a range of unique opportunities for those with an active interest in the art of deer stalking across the south of England.

We welcome experienced deer stalkers, complete beginners and everyone in between.

Learning field craft, deer behaviour and identification, carcase inspection and gralloching through to butchery and putting venison on the table for you and your family is an exciting journey.

Man has been hunting since the dawn of time. It connects us to our base instincts and our ancient ancestors. Learning to be in tune with yourself, the natural world and a worthy quarry most certainly requires skill, patience, exploration, resolve and help along the way. It’s a most honourable pursuit that’s inherently built within us. This is what being part of the Deer hub is all about; connecting with our origins, developing skills and sharing our passion with others that understand the desire to hunt, gather, eat, drink and socialise – it’s part of what it fundamentally means to be human.

Whatever stage people are at, the Deer HUB’s wide range of opportunities enables deer stalkers, at their own pace, to develop their skills with the help of our experienced professional stalk trainers, and access the knowledge required to be a deer stalker that’s confident, knowledgeable and skilful.

Deer Management

Wild deer are a highly valued part of our natural heritage and are increasing in number and geographic range in the UK.

Deer are a natural asset and integral to our countryside.

At the same time, these positive values need to be balanced against the considerable negative impacts deer have on agriculture, forestry, woodlands and the wider environment.

Therefore, deer need to be carefully managed.

This helps keep the UK deer population at a sustainable level, maintains a healthy population and reduces the negative impact deer have on agricultural crops and our treasured woodland and forestry environments.

The Deer Partnership Scheme is a Deer HUB initiative that brings together and benefits landowners, farmers, conservationists and deer stalkers.

The Partnership Scheme provides an income for land custodians and delivers a well thought out, organised, accountable and reliable solution to the longstanding problem of how to effectively manage Uk deer.

This in turn provides deer stalkers with the opportunity to get actively involved in effective deer management through our ever-growing network of stalk grounds located across England, Wales and Scotland.

The Deer Partnership Scheme team are highly organised and make sure that all stalk grounds are professionally monitored and managed.

Fresh Venison

As interest in sustainable eating and high-quality protein sources grows, venison is growing in popularity among health-conscious individuals, deer stalkers and food enthusiasts alike.

Venison is lean, high in protein, and free from added hormones or antibiotics, making it a healthy, ethical meat option.

Beyond its rich, earthy flavour, venison offers a variety of nutritional benefits that make it a standout alternative to conventional red meats such as beef or pork.

By choosing to eat harvested wild venison, deer stalkers and consumers are also contributing to responsible wildlife management and habitat conservation.

As wild deer in the UK have no natural predators, and as their populations continue to grow significantly, this has led to overgrazing and damage to our woodland ecosystems.

The Deer HUB and our deer stalkers, carry out considered deer management which is necessary for the welfare of the deer, to reduce crop damage and to improve the biodiversity of our woodlands and native wild flowers.

As part of our deer stalker training program, our stalkers are trained to be able to skin and butcher deer for their own consumption and for others.

As a responsible partner, deer harvested by Deer HUB professional stalkers are butchered and processed by our team in our 5* facility in Oxfordshire.

Harvested deer are professionally skinned, butchered and processed – nothing goes to waste – as it should be.
