    What must be remembered is, that with the exception of the Otago deer herd here, all our introduced wild deer came out of parks where they were selectively bred and crossed with other strains to gain bigger antlers. Even the Invermark deer were managed and culled to improve them. Our 'wild' reds had the blood of Wapiti, Maral, Sika and eastern reds infused into them before they ever got to our shores.
    The 'traditional' way to hunt these deer of ours is in a game park behind a high wall and not in an unmanaged forest situation as we do here, so to be in keeping with the tradition of our forebears and those stocks from which our deer were bred we would need to all hunt on managed estates. In short, without 'parks' and the tradition of hunting in European parks, we would have no wild deer here
