SheepChaser 8,083 Posted November 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Just drove the little thing all the way down to Sussex to give to a lad whos a keeper and deer fanatic. He’s successfully reared munty, chinks PD and sika before so should have the best chance. Met him at some other friends who have a pet fallow they’ve reared from day old, think she’s 12 months now. I helped a mate rear a sika stag calf last year. So they can be hand reared well enough, so fingers crossed! If she does make it, another mate has a 4 week old buck fawn which has been hand reared. So the two of them can live together (if we get that far). We are all Just a little bit deer mad 3 Quote Link to post

What’s the issue with rescuing or rearing stuff ? I’ve seen just about every type of animal hand reared, including fox, badger, hares etc. Quote Link to post

No it probably wouldn’t if I dropped it somewhere ..... some muppet would drop it and take a photo . There are three different sub species of sika in the uk. Most are Japanese , that buck is Manchurian, the rarest. They grow much bigger. He was off in that photo to a big deer park to run with some does, which eventually he will hopefully breed with. The reason the well known animal charity said to leave it to die is because the law has changed now and you can’t release munty back into the wild. If this little doe survives she will go into a large secure area with the little buck and hopefully breed. Quote Link to post

It's only in the back because the sika called shot gun and red stag was driving and the c**t got 12 points all ready 3 Quote Link to post
