Dunno, but Richmond Park shot 1200 since 2002 if that helps? Story is here http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/art...2002/article.do

A report from 2006 says;

 

"A report by BASC (British Association for Shooting and Conservation) in 2006 estimated that the annual cull of deer taken by its members in the UK approached 250,000 head including over 155,000 culled within England. In addition near 60,000 deer are killed as a result of collisions with vehicles every year (see www.deercollisions.co.uk). That carnage of deer and other wildlife arising from our ever increasing levels of road traffic might indeed justify terms like indiscriminate and mass slaughter, but even when added to the quarter of a million deer that are culled legally with rifles each year the national deer cull has to date been insufficient to prevent significant increases seen in the numbers and distribution of roe, red, fallow, sika and muntjac deer in numerous parts of the country."

 

Cheers, JD
