The CSVenator software range is intended for those who have either a professional or sporting interest in the management of deer.

The CSVenator family of products has been designed by deer management professionals and deer stalkers for use by enthusiastic sportsmen, professional deer hunters, estate managers and national or state bodies to make it easy to capture information about culling activities and to quickly produce pre-formatted reports and analysis based on this information.

Deer Management

Deer represent a valuable natural asset in any environment; they are beautiful and graceful - superbly adapted to the countryside in which they live and they continue to expand their range wherever the habitat is suitable.

They have always been valued as a food source and have been a quarry for hunters for thousands of years. With the decline in natural predators across the world, especially in densely populated countries, deer have also established a reputation as something of a nuisance and can cause severe damage to growing crops and to commercial forestry. They are also responsible for numerous road traffic accidents where deer and road users come into close contact. For these latter reasons, it is necessary to control deer populations so that the interests of both deer and people are protected.

CSVenator has been developed to take much of the effort out of administering deer management activities.

Keeping records

It is important that deer control, whether for commercial or sporting reasons, is undertaken in a responsible way and that those involved in culling deer take the proper measures to ensure that the animals that they take are killed efficiently; are properly inspected for disease or abnormalities, and are put hygienically into the human food chain.

CSVenator allows this information to be easily recorded.

In all aspects of deer management, it is good practice to keep comprehensive and reliable records of culling activity. Many formal estates and commercial deer farms need this information for business and sporting reasons. Increasingly, such records are required by legislation as evidenced by the EU directives which came into force on January 1st, 2006.

CSVenator provides comprehensive, easy to use, pre-formatted report facilities.

Venison

Venison is a high quality and healthy food source, being low in both fat and in cholesterol. Properly managed, we can continue to enjoy the sight of healthy animals in their natural environment and also take advantage of a naturally renewable food source. However, growing legislation surrounds the input of game into the human food chain.

CSVenator promotes good practice in keeping the appropriate traceability records, producing tags for carcass labeling and in producing traceability reports.

Our training products also promote good practice in taking animals out of the field and into the larder.
