Reds are breeding with the sika  in alot of parts of scotland surely that will bring the size down and wipe the red deer in  scotland out eventually  just a thought

Come on lads, get your dogs out there and get in to that Sika population.

A proper effort should be undertaken of a mass cull of Sika in parts of Scotland to keep some pure herds of Red deer.

Surely this is not to hard to organise and the meat has got to be worth something to them local economy’s if sold to supermarkets ‘ butchers and restaurants once restrictions re Covid are lifted ?

A lot of keepers stalkers shoot on sight but the problem is the area that are not estates  there over run with sika and there hybreds

You’ll get different opinions on red deer depending on who you’re speaking to, there’s a huge difference between running them daytime on mountains & running them with a lamp & a motor.

If you say you've done one or Seen one done your lying if your dog can do a couple winter hare or done a couple Charlie a night it hasn't ... One word sums 99% on here up ...... Jealous

It’s like anything you put on here it’s a waist of time tbh you can be happy as Larry wi your dog doing so well and that you’ve had productive hunts your still be told the opposite of good you’ll just get the same people offering negatives

How ye cook ye sika ?

Flash fry mate, the back straps are gorgeous. Haunches and front cuts, slow in red wine

A lot of crabbers say they ain't seen it... I haven't seen a tree fall (naturally) doesn't mean it doesn't happen... anyway I've never had or hunted a Beddyx so I wouldn't know

Seen a beddy/whippet fell a giant redwood, straight after taking down and killing a red stag. 

Was about 35 years ago mind, perhaps he had 'the right' blood in him?

I like it braised and then pulled off the bone or just roasted with garlic n that they reckon dont overcook it but still tastes good to me.cooked in a rendang is also not to be sniffed at if u like that sort of thing.
