Thread: unusual red coat

Hi all.
What have we here?
Have shot plenty of reds but havnt seen one with white spotting right down flanks (fawns and sika, yeah) .Its fawn was normal red colouring.
Was decent size animal.
Shot on public land, kaimais, Tauranga side, not far in.
Cheers. NRF

Are you keeping the skin?
Looks cool.

Potentially just a natural variation that occurs

Ie; Not all brown cows are the same brown

Looks like a Sika Red hybrid to me

Have struck it before..... just a young hind, who hasn't quite got rid of her own spotty coat completely. And the fawn will be her first.

as Nimrod said just a young hind skin worth keeping

Looks sika hybrid .

yeah, kept the skin.
Was thinking maybe sika hybrid , head looks normal red.

I've shot massive bodies, small headed sika with red genes before lol

Would make an awesome flat skin!
