Roe Deer tails!

Got my e-mail newsletter from Scott Country today.
Decided to have a look at the recording taken on a Pulsar Apex XD75, the link in the newsletter takes you to U-Tube:




it says
"Published on Oct 15, 2015
We were filming with Scott Country for a feature on thermal foxing using the Pulsar Apex XD75 Thermal Riflescope when this little roe deer came along so we filmed him for a while."

Have a look at the the tail on this "roe deer" - I've never seen one like that! What are we looking at?

Alasdair.
 
Expectation triumphs over examination. Anyone looking at even this image would conclude its not a roe. You can actually see the 'warmth' from the pedicles.
 
As per the others...Fallow Buck. You can just make out a penile tassel, the long tail and a glimpse of the horse-shoe rear cordal border. Couldn't be anything else, so a bit odd they concluded it was a Roe.
 
To be fair the caption on the video says - "Pulsar Apex XD75 Thermal Riflescope in action - Fallow Deer" ? Unless they have recently edited the title maybe they have just got a bit over excited when writing the comments? :stag: Anyway its fairly clear from the picture it's a fallow stag - not a roe hind, and definitely not a red buck or doe :D :rofl: Lovely clear picture mind you.
 
The caption on U-Tube has been corrected since I posted! The original caption is the one I cut and pasted, in inverted commas, on my original post.
However I suspect a good few folk must have had a look who might not have otherwise bothered and it does show how good this technology is getting.

Wonderful tool for doing your deer census.

Yep - just so long as you can recognise the deer you're looking at. I posted the first comment on You Tube giving Scott Country 10/10 for the kit, but 0/10 for deer recognition ... Hey presto! As if by magic the caption changes. :lol:
