Sika?

That rear end shot along with the dark stripe along it's back clears it all up as Sika.

Excellent! I've never eaten sika before. Just tried a bit of saddle. Very tasty.

That's the furthest south I've seen them. I've found a dead one before near Hartfield, but it wasn't eatable. I've seen live ones, but not very often and no further south than Nutley.

There's a lot here in Dorset. I saw a pure white buck and a white doe on the same day whilst out and about a few weeks ago. The doe burst out of cover right in front of me.

I'm studying for my DSC1 and reckon it's a Roe too. Hope I'm not going to fail!

Have you just began your Deer Stalking Certificate studies then ?

Bugger off actually I have but I'm breaking the 80% pass mark so far. I'd have put money on the ID from the road side photo but the kitchen showed the proportions better.

...slinks off with tail between his legs.

Dont hang yersen up. I've hunted, *cough* foraged both, an the ****e roadside photo lol ;-) had me as did the first kitchen one. If we dont hold our hands up then we cant progress.
My name is Chiseller and i stand being corrected

I would have said roe doe first pic, but sika hind in the kitchen for sure, young one though.

The insurance company won't be at all surprised, deer cause 3,000 plus accidents on the roads in the UK per year.

The hock glands on a sika deer have white tufts of hair round them in both summer and winter coats, this makes them completely recognisable from any other species.

Sika are stags and hinds, roe are bucks and does

 

[Bushwhacker]

It was a male and female Sika in any case.

And now a young fallow in Uckfield!
