Falco 0 Posted December 26, 2012 nice piebald deer there. or is that just the colouration in those localized deer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falco 0 Posted December 26, 2012 what did you take that doe with? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newzealandsurvival 0 Posted December 27, 2012 we call them hinds :hugegrin: dropped her with my single shot Bergara 7mm-08, the patchy coloured ones are Fallow deer, amazing eating but I dont shoot them in this paticular area, I like to have them handy for photography and just watching them. Have shot a few more yearling red deer lately for the freezer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falco 0 Posted December 27, 2012 just checked them out, cool looking lighter breed. 7mm-08, damn, i guess its rather hilly there, and long shots might be needed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newzealandsurvival 0 Posted December 27, 2012 its probably the most common calibre here, very little difference between the 7mm-08 and a 308 which is also very popular, many people like using .223 ( 5.56 ) for deer hunting in the bush, a well placed neck or head shot works well. Yes its very hilly country here, most hunting is either in tight bush or long shots up to 500m on the open tops country or river flats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
