Wing Commander died on August 17th 2008 aged 88.

The funeral service will be held on 27th August at St Edwards Church, Shaftesbury at 11.00 a.m.

Andrew De Nahlik joined the RAF early in WW II after an epic journey across Europe. Well versed in the strict European traditions of deer management, he brought this to the handful of post-war enthusiasts who were starting to revolutionise deer management in this country, taking a leading part in turning deer from being considered vermin to quarry species deserving humane and enlightened treatment. Through extensive writing and years of lecturing, he had a powerful influence on successive generations of stalkers and in shaping the training and laws which we now accept.

Present-day deer enthusiasts owe much to Andrew de Nahlik’s dedication and enthusiasm over this long period.

He was a Fellow of the British Deer Society and a member from its early days.

He will be much missed.

The Times has created an online Guest Book as as a tribute to Andrew de Nahlik.

H5, Your post would have conveyed a bit more respect you had removed your bye-line from your signature...

True!

The problem is I can't find the right bit of the site to change it.

Another old Buck lost to St Hubert's cull.

My I last as long, and learn as much.........

With Respect.

As the Navy says Semper Fortis "courage always". I am sure he's already shooting the Maker's Boss shotguns at driven grouse, and kicking gold medal stags out of the back 40.
