Which county has the largest population and most diverse species of deer

[lilvixen 26]

Just wondered what everyone thought, personally I would go for either Norfolk or Suffolk with Red/muntjac/fallow/roe and CWD...............

 

Would have to agree, live on an estate in suffolk and had all of the above plus there are a few boar at large in the above counties......

I would deffo go for the Norfolk area around Thetford as they have all 6 deer species there It certainly aint my area, i do know.

Hi, I'm not sure Thetford has CWD of Sika. I have spent a good while down there and never seen any.However the amount of roe was crazy, 16 in one field. What i did find interesting is that the bucks never seemed to carry decent antlers, in spite of the fields being choc-full of sugarbeat and other such goodies. The roe had bad tick problems too.

That said, i know that theres CWD on the coastal areas of Norfolk.

 

Parts of Cambridgeshire has some great deer, as does Bedfordshire too, but i cannot think, off hand, of any county with all 6 species in it.

But i will stand corrected.

 

Great topic.

 

I was going on when i had an interview there for a rangers job a few years ago and one of the rangers there told that me he had 5 species on his beat, Red, Roe, Munty, CWD, Fallow and the occasional Sika passing through which had to be shot on site.

 

Yes there is lots of deer in Cambs, i`ve shot stacks of munty, Fallow and 1 or 2 CWD around that area.

Hi,

 

I think California is one of the most diverse parts of the world..deer, coyote, mountain lion, red-shafted flicker, and several species of hawk and sparrow...

I have 5 species present on my ground in suffolk, no sika yet would be interested to know where the local population is from

Funny enough seen my first Sika two days ago 3 miles from my place ..Large estate a field away from them thats not shot hunted or anything just left ,,Must have come off there ..6 in all so hopefully they will wander towards my permission 6 fields away ..So in this part of Essex all 6 species exist
