Thread: Deer in Strange Places.

Last evening however I walked past the back door, looked out and spotted something take a couple of bounds and disappear. I got am impression of a white bum. It was too big to be a hare so what was it? A deer? I have seen a deer on our block a long time ago but it was an escapee from down the road. I have also heard some say, perhaps a little more than half jokingly, that the only places in Hawkes Bay that there are no deer are the main streets of Napier and Hastings. We are 20 k's away from either of those.
So what say you people? Any stories of Sika turning up in strange places in Hawkes Bay?
Regards Grandpamac.

There was and still is a mob of fallow at the bridge on outskirts of Fernhill including a whopper fallow stag from the mob which was killed by Apatu Farms staff on HW50 in the last month.
