exotic escapee

Post by Gerard Dick »

I was fishing with a friend on Buck Lake near Huntsville Ont. At the end of the day when we left the boat launch we saw what appeared to be a male fallow deer. It had spots like a fawn only more so , and antlers like a caribou flattened and swept back. He looked to be in good shape. Fat and sassy. One antler was larger by far than the other. So much for the crap about game farm critters never escaping into the wild.

Hey Gerrard I think that should be reported the MNR. I remember talking to a MNR officer at the hunting show a few years back and he said they need to know things like this so they can hunt that animal. We don't want fallow deer breding with whitetail. :!: You know excatly where you were so you should forward that info

Both OFAH and MNR are onto it. OFAH think it's a fallow deer. It's what you get in a restaurant when they offer venison as it's illegal to buy sell trade white tail.
