    feral fallow

    I found this feral deer in our Hazel tree block. There have been a few breeding in the area, but my partner was not keen to shoot any until I showed her how much they have damaged some of the trees.

    Red for sure but I have never seen a red yearling with so many spots at this time of year, late fawn?

    Without being too specific on location - Banks Peninsula or further out? The reason I ask is that I have a farm at Charteris Bay and we thought we spotted a red hind in the distance a few months ago. I've heard reds are in the Purau/Port Levy area and on now on the Port Hills as well. Unfortunately pigs are now well established on the Port Hills and apparently heading our way also.

    It’s a red fawn, either really late or someone shot it’s mother and it’s a runt due to lack of milk
