Those are nice animals,
It quite impressive what can happen with a little herd management and selective culling of meat animals.
Just have to say I saw some nice Fallow bucks on private land at Hawea a couple of weeks back. Both free range and some behind deer fences for the US market.
Interesting where I was free range there was one lovely wide buck that was almost tame and looked at us and slowly wandered off with his 2 does.
All the other Fallow bucks and does bolted the minute they got a hint we where present. I was hunting reds.

PS Padox your 3 x 270 makes me fee better hehehe.
my Red stag took 3 rounds from my 358win (3000 fpe) at less than 200 mtr to anchor (well he only went 30 mtrs but kept getting up after each of the first 2 shots) and then a 4th at point blank to stop him kicking. Big heavy shoulders and forelegs.
