Thread: Deer on the Side of the Road

Greetings All,
I headed into the Kaweka's yesterday for one of my gentleman's hours wanders (sans rifle) and was puttering along the forestry road when I spotted two Sika hinds on the side of the road. This is not all that unusual if you drive slowly on the roads in the area. Needless to say two jumps and they were gone leaving me with what Michael Palin describes as a happy attack. Nothing unusual you say well yes but what struck me was that these two girls were fat. I have been hearing a bit recently about high numbers and skinny deer but these two, a hind and a yearling I expect, clearly had not got the Email. There has been quite a bit of sign on the track recently as well so perhaps I should be taking a rifle on my wanders.
Regards Grandpamac.
