I was browsing the web, looking at a possible hunt in Lithuania. I found a site that talked about dappled deer[/b. Perhaps it was a bad translation, but I have never heard of this species before. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks, Pete | ||

Pete - It would be a guess on my part - but the description could fit 'common' Fallow Deer. (Dama Dama) Rgds Ian | |||

"Menil" coloured fallow deer. | |||

Quote: I believe you are correct. Just guessing here, but I think spotty equates to sika and dappled to fallow. That would make some sense. As I understand it, just about all deer species there are a direct result of deer farming to one degree or another. Thanks for trying. I simply don't speak lithuanian, though my dad did. I am just doing some basic research at the moment, as I intend go sometime in the next 2 years. I have a cousin who has spent time in Lithuania as part of an academic exchange. When I am ready, she has contacts that will be useful in arranging a hunt. I had some contacts in Vilnus many years ago, but have lost touch with them. As I understand it, about 10 years ago, after independence, they tried to set up a commerical offering for hunting, but the game levels were just not appropriate. I believe that the deer hunting is a high fence operation for the most part. Something I am not particularly interesting in traveling thousands of miles to do. Boar and wolf are free roaming.

Drop a line to cchunter on these forums. He arranges hunts with an outfitter in this region - maybe Latvia instead of Lithuania though. | |||

Quote: I have zero desire to hunt Finland, Latvia or whatever. I asked a specific question which you obviously have no knowledge of. I have no need to contact any stranger, as I have stated above. But you don't bother to read. You enjoy hearing yourself too much. You remind me of a runny nose little kid looking for attention. So now you have it. Turn off the computer and go back to watching the tube. Pete | |||

The member I mentioned is not a stranger to these forums which you would know if you had been around longer. I find all the guys on the European forum usually complete gentlemen in common with their fine hunting traditions but I guess there always is an exception to the rule. PS I do know where this vitriol is coming from so should enlighten other members who are probably perplexed. I remember a post where some dickhead academic wrote a load of bullshit on Col Patterson the famous Maneaters of Tsavo slayer. I replied on that thread that maybe eye-witness accounts of the time were more accurate than some wackademic re-writing history and destroying and ridiculing a long dead hero of the past by looking at examples completely unrelated so as to get attention on some crap thesis he published. Or something to that effect. There was a post of why Patterson didn't build fences in a rather off tone and I relied to that, isn't a boma a fence.  Why do you hide behind an alias with no email address, no location, nothing of any sort? | |||
