I take it you haven't read the wickipedia discription not to b confused with Sika
The se
The series describes them as Marland SIKA deer, which the states has issues with. They are seen as an invasive species, being managed by fish and game. The large amount of widespread Sika are animals from private collections which have escaped. Lots of info on the states SIKA deer if you dig In to it.

sika on east coast imported from uk, living in a marsh on E side of Chesapeake bay. Sitka (black tailed) Pacific north west. Watch the series 8 episodes for Sika (bow hunting and muzzle loaders) previous seasons have covered Sitka.
well worth the watch, even the cooking bits are interesting.

Categorically, absolutely and without question Sika - Cervus Nippon. Nothing at all to do with black tail Sitka.
I did think that they looked like quite small examples though. During the porgramme it specifically stated that they were imported from the UK and released on an island. They then swam ashore. Clearly they learned from the ones released on Brownsea Island.

It doesn't accord with best practice, as defined by the various organisations and courses, for fear of contamination in either direction (human to deer, or deer to human (or indeed deer to deer when several beasts are shot)). However, what happens in a sunny English meadow and what happens on a vertiginous Scottish hillside are not always the same. I generally wash my hands in a burn and dry them on my breeks afterwards if that helps...

As a confirmed bare-hander, I see myself alongside the scary, weird Swedish kid, leading the fight against single-use plastics...

I admit i sometimes use gloves sometimes not depends whats in my pockets .
and knowing the impact plastics and such like have on our environment then I think we should all go bare handed in future......

Been a huge fan for sometime. Well what I really mean is - dead jealous. After thrashing around all weekend up on our shoot and missing with the only shot I got, I was ready for watching someone more successful.
Mind you I wasn't quite so sure about the recent one where he shoots a mountain lion up a tree. Whilst they did eat it, there didn't seem to be any justification made in the film as to why they shot it in the first place.
