Thread: Tag in the ear

Shot a red the other day in doc land with a tag in the ear didn't see the tag when shooting. Can I get in trouble and dose this happen often? Who out there has shot one? Also tryed eating it and it's as tough as old boots this normal?

Don't stress mate you wont get in any trouble if it was on doc land
If there was a deer farm at the bush edge and you wanted to get in the farmers good books put the eid tag in his mailbox.

If it was on doc land it is fair game. No you cant get in trouble. Cant help with how tender it was. How long did it hang before butchering? What state was it in when shot?

As above.

A mate had a few get out a few years back, about 3 months later he got a ring from some guys who had shot one and traced it back to him.
It had gone bloody miles away threw prime habitat.

Yer ther was a farm near I guess alibi take bit away even two not sure if same one. How do they even get out? Hung for three days . Every other deer I've shot even stags have been mint . I gave most of it away to mates for Xmas and I'm gutted to here and find out it was tough . She was in good nic even a bit of fat around the Arss .Farm deer need longer?

Farmer angry now

Your not supposed to eat the eartag!!

Just kidding Merry Christmas Probably the way the way they cooked Rudolph

Could be an old animal. Was it stressed before you shot it? Only things I can think of.
Only tough venny I have had wasn't mine and was helicopter shot.

For the most part a deer fence is more of a psychological barrier to deer rather than a physical barrier. I have seen both stags and hinds under pressure clear a deer fence and have even seen a four month old fawn get close to going over on one occasion. They are also quite adept at digging, mostly under gates but fences also.

Yer it was but no kid around that's y I pull the trigger. I tryed cooking a piece when I got the news and yer tough. Would say she was stressed she was sitting under a tree and died where she layed . It was hung in my shed gir the night it wasn't na warn night and I've fine this be4 ?, could this be y? Or just every now and then u get a tough one?

Yep i have even seen a 3 legged hind clear deer fence quite regularly, but she was mad.

Yep you certainly don't want them doing that shit. The young fawn I referred to got its front hooves over the top but it's centre of gravity was low on the near side of the fence so it fell back and unfortunately landed awkwardly and broke its back.
