jcorryFallow Buck.
Hi,
I shoot quite a lot of fallow, but this is my biggest so far. A real monster! I only have this photo of him hanging up that evening. It doesn't do him justice...I shot him a about year ago.

West Coast!
The reason why I shot him was because he had electric wire rapped around his antlers and throat. Annoyingly the wire had ruined the cape, so a mount wasn't possible.

jcorryThe Great Irish Deer (not elk!) closest relation today is, in fact, the fallow.

Claret_DabblerThat fallow has a neck like a Charolais bullock.
Must have been from the same area as the monster reds in Galway.
Fantastic beast.
Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to get you....
