Prof Roger Lentle: can wild deer and conservation coexist?

Roger Lentle can tell a lot from a hoofprint. He’s spent half a century hunting, tracking and studying deer. and has just published Tracking and Finding Deer in New Zealand. 

Deer are known to cause damage to our native forest, but Lentle thinks there's a case for the maintenance of controlled numbers, as source of revenue to support conservation. 

When not in the bush, Lentle is a Professor Emeritus in digestive biomechanics at Massey University.
