About 10 years ago my wife and I saw a rusa hind standing in with angus yearling cattle 500m east of Ruahihi power station on the Kaimai hiway. The cattle were grazing amongst the pine trees on the right heading to Tauranga. Now logged.
We doubled back to make sure what we'd seen. It was June (mating time) so I'm picking she was an escapee and was looking for a mate.
Funny thing I just went past there today and looked there, as hunters do.
No she wasn't there, but maybe next time.
