Finally found some info....The Jarvan Rusa was liberated in New Zealand in 1907 from Indonesia. The rusa is similar in size to the red deer, with a typical mature stag weighing up to 440lbs. Rusa prefer to inhabit steep county, dense bush and scrub........
so....in order of average size....i know, always exceptions.....
Wapiti
Red
Sambar
Rusa
Sika
Fallow
Whitetail
correct.....?......or is the Sambar larger than the Reds?
I would put Sambar ahead of Red
Sambar larger than red going by all the photos i have seen :D

Nah I said I don't need venison that badly. He probably would nearly have killed me as I wasn't fit for that caper any longer.
Guessing by the look of him, live weight, he could have weighed as much as eight hundred Lb

I would have liked to know what this little fat pig weighed.
I think he would have put a few red deer to shame. It was shot by Michele Hill one of our neighbours at Taneatua on a next door property.
For those that havnt seen this before.. It is a Rusa stag with the most unusual head I have ever seen.
Yeah Scribe, injured back leg?.....or just small gene pool?
Not in this case 'Scouser' True an injured back leg often cause malformed antler on the opposite side. This is not a malformed antler this boy has three antlers and three coronets.Quote:
