Thread: Mate shoots hind with an ear tag - have you?

Escapees are as cunning as ferals in no time.

Technically they remain the property of the owner, but that is observed by the breach in most cases.

I shot a nice roaring ten once up in my scrub when I had the farm, and it turned out to be one of my own that had escaped several years earlier. Seeing the tag took a bit of gloss off the hunt. He had only travelled about 2km, but I know that the deer in the area used to trek between the coast and the Puketois depending on the season, and that was about 10/15km.
