Thread: Venison for Xmas

The ears are wrong for a Rusa unless it's a hybrid.

The other unmentionable which I will mention now that you've divulged the rusa heritage is: SIKA!!!!!!! from a similar source.

Don't tell the Dept of Constipation,eh!!!!!!

WHAT type of deer? why it's a dead one of course.

Hmm you don't say and it now resting in my fridge

This fallow didn't have distinct spots as it was slightly wet and ruffled up.

Here in the uk I've seen fallow of all colours in the same heard. White, Grey, spotty. Never herd of them crossing with red though.
Bugger just got another call out for tomorrow so rum in take has had to stop

Rusa

Looks fallow to me but then I have never seen a Rusa.
Got a photo of the rump patch?

Ok the verdict is in, its a yearling Rusa. Our local Hunter from the area confirms it.
I should have asked him in the first place.

Nope people, you're wrong. Check out Bruce Banwell's book & you'll see that Rusa have rounded ears & those ones are quite pointee, like a red's.
Possibly, as mentioned before, a red/rusa hybrid. That's my 2 cents worth ( & I really don't know shit from clay!!!)

The ears on a few of our deer allow us to confirm their identity.

Moose/Rusa x

I would of said its a red yearling still in winter coat,due to the shit weather until now.Think the sea temp would suggest its been cold probably why the fishing on the coast isn't happening inshore.
Long way from Galater for a rusa

There was a Rusa farm down the road, but has since closed or reduced in size !!
The locals open the fences a few times, by accident

Certainly has a lot more in common with Rusa !!!!
