This is only intended as a light hearted bit of fun and it will clearly involve some generalisation but I would be curious to see how people think the UK species stack up in terms of how hard/ easy they are to bag?
No 1 should be the species you think are the hardest. If you haven't stalked a species then just leave it out of your list.
Mine would be as follows:
1) Sika
2) Fallow
3) Muntjac
4) Red
5) Roe
6) CWD
By way of explanation. No 1, 2 and No 6 were easy decisions for me to rank whereas 3, 4 and 5 required a bit more thought (it was close so on a different day they might have gone in a different order). Muntjac being a smaller target, easily obscured by vegetation, coupled with their dislike of standing still just tipped them ahead of Red and Roe.
