I think the correct answer is; north, sun facing clearings on the tops. I thing they can still be found in riverbeds moring and night.

Roger Lentle says deer only eat grass in spring. I think they eat grass all year. Especially if its nice and green.

Id love.to.get a copy of that book thought just to see what he thinks.

I've never got my head around deer and grass. In the Tararuas around Smith creek and Tutuwai hut the grass looks like someones mowed it using the lowest setting. In the Aorangis the grass is above the knees in some clearings, they just dont seem to eat it.
