Eradication of TB: Discussion
Mr. Teddy Cashman:
It is €2 per kilo. An average-sized deer might weigh 55 kg or 60 kg for a big one. The smaller ones then become uneconomical, so this is where the supports need to come in, at the lower end. There is not a lot of money involved really. Some very good deerstalkers could shoot quite a number of animals over the season and some might only shoot five or six.
