It will most likely be an escapee from a deer farm or the off spring of an escapee. I took a balloon ride from Helensville to Dairy Flat a few years back and saw quite a big stag by itself on farm land just before (and bordering) the Riverhead Forest. I had one yearling stag get out about ten years back. He gapped it to the other side of SH 16 never to be seen again.
