Kerry, Donegal, Galway, Mayo, Sligo, lietrim, Tipperary, Offally, Laois, Carlow, Wicklow and scatterd around here and their in ajoining countys. Speices to be found are, Red, Sika, Sika/red high breeds and fallow. Wish we had muntjack and roe, it would be very handy. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmick Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Thanks for that Frank.. That widespread are they..Ive seen a few herds in and around glenveagh national park and mountains...You dont know the specfic parts of those counties where you'd find them do you? Also theres a few wild deer in the north around County Down and I also spotted a small herd in the Sperrin mountain region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Think there are muntjac as well. Escapees from carrowdore castle deer park, I've heard both are now forming populations and spreading. Don't quote me 100% as I have not seen them myself, but certainly when the species were mentioned to me, my ears pricked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 This information may be slightly out of date, but if you click on this: http://www.bds.org.uk/default.asp Then click 'info' and then 'species' you can look at the distribution of all the 6 specis. You need to click on th PDF document for each one to get the map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballymac Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Just seen this thread, deer in Tyrone, all over the place, if you play Cookstown golf course you sometimes have to let a small herd through, and this is very close to a major town. There are alot of places along the Tyrone/Monaghan border and also along the Fermanagh/Tyrone border were deer can be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
