A History of Deer Management in Ireland

History of deer management in Ireland with special reference to the Glenarm Deer Parks 

by Tereence Reeves-Smyth

One of the largest and best recorded of these parks, the 3,000-acre Great Deer Park at Glenarm, Co Antrim, is subject here to special attention.
