bole scoring Explanation: not quite sure Browsing of tree shoots and agricultural crops and bark stripping and bole scoring (gouging with the antlers) of plantation trees puts sika in conflict with farmers and foresters due to economic damage. http://www.bds.org.uk/sika.html Scoring of pole stage trunks http://www.forestry.gov.uk/fr/INFD-6K4KAF Deer do some damage to trees and can be a nuisance in young plantations. Most common types of damage is roebuck fraying, sika deer “bole scoring” and red deer bark striping, however all six species of deer present in the UK will cause woodland damage. http://roestalker.co.uk/deer-management/ |
