    I imagine lettings or anywhere else that that can sustain that sort of shooting are few and far between. Being realistic is there any let that has that many deer shot legaly?

    It depends on circumstances and location. I'm sure not all can, but they exist. I know of estates which cull far, far more, but they're very large indeed. The population can be transitory, depending what the surrounding area is like.

    By nature as we all know deer being hunted get shy, so any estate or let that is say even 10,000 acres will only have deer coming out at night if there are 200+ deer being shot a season. I have known people who claimed their Let was over run with Deer but in reality they were lamping all round in different areas using the theory of a great let to cover their tracks. I am open to be proved wrong but I honestly believe any let or large sized area that has 200+ deer shot a season is being lamped regulary.

    They exist, and it does happen.
