Activities

Since its establishment in 1981 the Wild Deer Association of Ireland has grown to become the largest organisation of its kind in Ireland, representing those involved in deer management, deer stalking and people with an interest in the conservation and well-being of wild deer.
The Wild Deer Association of Ireland is recognised as the leading authority on wild deer in Ireland holding numerous events throughout the year with the aim to develop the knowledge and skills of our members and the general public. Our events and seminars include international deer experts on issues relating to deer and deer management. The Wild Deer Association of Ireland is one of the founder members of Deer Alliance the assessment committee set up to oversee the Hunter Competence Assessment Programme (HCAP) which provides a first step to developing the knowledge and competence of deer managers and deer stalkers by providing a recognised qualification.
We are also a member of FACE which is recognised by the European Commission as the main discussion partner, representing Europe's 7 million hunters, and are consulted by the relevant Directorate-General during the elaboration and monitoring of EU legislation dealing with hunting, wildlife management, nature conservation, firearms, wild animal health, game meat hygiene, etc.
Since 2009 we provide a Deer Management Programme to advise and assist landowners on the management of deer, while maintaining the herd in a safe and sustainable environment.
More recent campaigns include "Shine a Light on Poaching" which promotes the illegal taking of deer. "Report a Wildlife Crime" allows for the reporting of suspected incidents of Deer Poaching and other Wildlife Crimes. "Deer Awareness Ireland" highlights the growing incidents of road traffic accidents involving deer and what actions can be taken to reduce such incidents.
We regularly lobby and work with government departments on deer related issues and legislation.
