Bakesy was that a guess? you are the hot one so far mate...but what with? Remember some species cant cross with other species only those from their own genus.

Shit! Sorry T_P your post came in as mine was being posted you the winner mate sika/red it is and believe it or not fellas they are right here in Victoria.

Do you have another photo?that one is a bit dark

its not really,it must be your screen resolution

I was going to post fallow cross (hybrid, whatever)

Glad I was beaten to that post.

But am curious about this. If there are fallow mobs running free (and I know there are because I have been there), are they legally huntable?


I always thought that deer, once escaped from farms and breeding like (well) "rabbits", were fair game. I see in that "Hunter" magazine that comes out here, that isn't the case? I mean with fallow.

I am missing some law somewhere?

I am an idiot, I know.

Does that mean that I carn't hunt a fallow deer that has been breeding silly along a river near here?

Even though ever man and his dog who knows about them are shooting the odd deer fairly often and talking about it to their mates?

We are all equal except Saeed he puts the internet roof over these hallowed halls. Nitrox made his bed and now he needs to sleep in it for at least a couple of moons, eh.

i suppose looking all over we are all not equal in the sense that some simply read posts,some dont even reply,some never start a thread ,some post many thousands etc...NitroX had a few thousand (6000+) posts up i think so maybe he is a little more than equal compared to the fella that is a long term member with only a handful of posts....

Are you refering to my hand full of posts?
