    Shame New Zealand didn’t get these.

    Muntjac and Chinese Water Deer would have done well in New Zealand.





    Nasty fighters.



    Busy Highseat.


    Foxes are shot on sight.

    Nice!
    Cutting the throat of a wounded muntjac would be fraught with danger to say the least!

    yup we needed more - forget those two - axis were released but sadly - now those would have been nice - sadly they only released whitetail in the communist south - would have gone really well in mainland north island -

    I thought axis did get released in the NI? Or am I thinking of blacktail.

    Roe deer would have done really well too. I suspect that they were never valued as a trophy animal which is why they were not released here, they'd be everywhere if they had been.
