Guest Rabbiteer Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hello Guys, I have been out with the ferrets very early in the mornings and have seen a few deer knocking about. To begin with I thought they were Roe as they were about the right size but i couldnt see the white flash of its arse. Insted they had black long stripes going down the back of there legs. I have tried to Google it but to no luck. As you guys are the experts maybe you would take five seconds of your time to educate the thick rabbit catcher. Cheers for your help, Rabbiteer Quote Link to post
mudman 14 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Sound like Fallow. Which county were you in ? because they could also have been Sika but they have a much more restricted range. Quote Link to post

mudman 14 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Well I know Dorset has alot of Sika in parts as does the New Forest. Maybe somebody with better local knowledge than me would know if they are in your locallity aswell. Quote Link to post
Guest Rabbiteer Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 C'mon you guys. 60 looks at the post and only one gent among you willing to help out. A Roe size-ish deer in a family of four with no obvious white flash to its arse, but with a long black stripes or patches down the back of their legs. I dont have a good enough camera to gt a pic. Come to think of it there was a lone Roe male just off from the four other deer and he could be easily seen and identified, so it definatley wasnt Roe. All the best, Rabbiteer Quote Link to post
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 They're (Sika) said to be in the New Forest? Well, they're down on the east side of Hampshire too. Or were a couple or do decades back. Sounds like they've met and you've met them, mate. Phil should be able to confirm. Quote Link to post
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Double Posted. Quote Link to post
Guest Rabbiteer Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Sika it is then. These pics are almost the same as what I have seen on two differant farms in southern Hampshire. White rump wasnt so prominant but the black stripe could clearly be seen. Minus the bird obviously................................... Cheers ditch, All the best, Rabbiteer Quote Link to post
