Thanks DH, I was wondering how the deer react to such a big change in weather.

It's interesting to compare experiences.

Apart from prolonged periods of severe cold weather deer don't change their behaviour very much. Unlike towies they don't rush to put a brolly up at the first drops of rain.
What DH descripes is perfectly ususal behaviour for deer. Given that they have defined feed and rest cycles unless pressurised.
A lengthy period of study observing deer behavioural patterns would seem to be the order of the day. Theres more to being a hunter of deer than humping a rifle around.

Don't lump me into the same group as you..... I haven't been a novice wannabee stalker for a considerable number of years.

Enjoy the replys you get back from the cow watching forum. I'm sure they will be of immense benefit to you. However I'll warn you now there are slight differences between cows and deer in regards to their behavioural patterns.

Thank heaven for that....One class clown is enough for any web site. An honour I am very happy to leave soley in your hands. Some people like to think they are smart when in fact they are more like George, Prince of Wales in Blackadder. Who was univerisally acknoweldged as being a bit of a thickie. Are you inclined to wear pantaloons and boufant wigs?

I don't think you'll get far comparing the really experienced guys on here to cows........irrespective of how small the differences you might think there might be.

You betcha!

Your knowledge of chemistry is all the proof your intelligence we need; as I said before it is unfortunate that if you did finish school, it's not readily apparent.

With a written medium, one tends to judge the experience of a poster by their ability to pass on information.

On that count, you very much fall short.

Please don't feel obliged to post on threads that strain your knowledge and welcome, that's trolling.

Other factors to consider are flies/midges and whether something has recently been shot out of a herd.

Thanks 1894.

I'm out after bunnies to tomorrow, think I'll spend some time in the woodsbefore and after and see what I can see.

Interesting point about the insect life, there's a pond of sorts in the middle of a patch I'm thinking off that harbours a muntjac but the fallow avoid, are certain species more tolerant than others?

With the number of ticks they seem to carry I can't imagine reds are too sensitive are they?

With thanks,

There is no difference between deer species in regards to tollerance to biting insects Be they red, sika, fallow, roe, muntjac or CWD. Tick burden is subject to level of exposure due to habitat occuppied nothing else.

Basic beginners understanding of Cervidae really.

"Cervidae" instead of "ruminant", see even you've had occasion to learn from this thread.

Some of us, myself being one of the some, already comprehend that all deer are ruminant mammals comprising the family Cervidae.
