Thought I'd show a couple of the fallow from our island state, Tasmania.

The first belongs to a workmate and is the culmination of fourteen years of stalking and searching.....



.....the rest are from other locals











Roger

Am I wrong in thinking that second one is a whopper?

Does the tine pointing in from the palm reduce its Douglas score much or at all?

Yes, its a good size animal and no, it doesn't detract from the points.......I am assuming you are talking about the speckled one in the full length pic.

Roger

.......more a double cheeseburger than a whopper

Very nice bucks, Roger.

Thanks for posting.

I enjoyed a couple of seasons hunting Fallow in Tassie until the property I had access to was de-forested to within an inch of its life.
The place looked like the surface of the moon on my last visit.

But I digress.

Again, thanks for posting.

I'm glad there's no reduction. Couldn't see any speckles but it's the tine just out from the hand holding it up.

one myh sorrows in life is that i didn't have room to lifesize my fallow and had to settle for a shoulder mount. they are just so beautiful

Great to see real wild normal trophies of this quality.

I hate even looking at the farmed and fenced monster pets.

.....another sent today, by the looks of it, just out the velvet.....



Roger

I love black Fallow Bucks and I cannot lie.

Really impressive animals.

Iv'e only been here a couple of years, and according to the blokes I hunt with , black is the predominant colour here, some speckled, not many red.

The chap I work with has a pic of a white one that was shot in the last few days, I'll post a pic when he gets back. It's a long weekend here, eight hour day weekend and deer season started about two or three weeks ago.

Roger

....one black one, one white one and one with a bit of shi.......stop that!!



Roger

( he sent it from his phone......thanks John. )

Thank you I have not seen a white one. I would shoot either and be happy, but you know what they say; Once you black...

His eyes are not pink/red so he is not an abino.

The darker the better. But as long as it is mature and fair chase there are no wrong choices.

Thank you.

Dandy paddles on all of 'em.
Thanks for sharing with us.

Saw quite a few reds and brown with spots in Germany with some nice paddles when in the Army out in the field a few times--71-72.
They have always been one of my dreams since.

George

Some pics from last weekend....





....and unfortunately, what results when two bucks fight through a fence....



Roger

A couple more from this last week.....





....some of these are getting huge....
