## Description
Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) are tasked with the humane culling of deer and transportation of deer carcases across a wide range of landscapes and terrains across Scotland. The process of retrieving the carcass to a larder facility can be time consuming, arduous, and physically challenging all of which can create
inefficiencies within the system. FLS are keen to explore technologies that can automate some, or all of this process, whilst maintaining carcass quality and integrity and food hygiene standards in order to improve efficiencies, decrease the physical demands on Wildlife Rangers and support achieving the Scottish Government’s Climate Change and biodiversity objectives by reducing deer densities.
