I have a small herd of completely free-ranging hog deer on my ranch in South Africa and would like to know what experiences you have of them in Australia.
I believe that they get very big there. Victoria and where else?

what are you referring to ,body size or antler size
the hogs are predominatley in victoria, but small pockets are found in N S W

I am referring to antler size.
The stag (buck?) we weighed here was 62kg live weight.

About 40kg dressed weight is big here and antlers in the 16-17" mark are considered a big trophy. I have a 10" and a 13 3/4" stag and both are from the Victorian herd.

Cheers,
Mark.
