Just got back from my areas in West Sussex, where I had Marty J and his friend Ron, plus Oberon off the SD site.
5 deer in 3 outings 3 Fallow, 1 Roe and a Sika hind!!
There are no Sika in the area I have and yet this turned up with some Fallow. Heavy in fat, not pregnant, and it looks like a Manchurian, although in winter coat she looked much squarer in the body and face than a Jap.
Both landowners were suprised when I told them, and to their knowledge no one has sika in the area on farms or parks. So a great suprise at the weekend.
