Not quite a traditional stalk

That will do nicely.

Exactly just the right size not to break the the back

Nice roe. 
 

I have seen evidence of roe but fallow definitely the dominant species on my land, a roe would be nice for the ease of extraction like mentioned.

Some of the fallow have come from the neighbouring estate, some of which are white but they are big  I have to get help from the keeper if I knock one over but at 06.30 on a Sunday morning I thought I leave them alone. I’ve Seen some nice Roe  bucks for the coming season

...and it is such a struggle dragging them beasties up and down those Norfolk mountains ain't it    Just joshing.

The estate had some forestry guy in last year to thin out the trees and blimey did they leave a mess, you have to drag over waste timber and they ******** up the tracks so can’t get a vehicle down them, so everything has to be manhandled out,  but  it keeps you fit

Every mole hill is a mountain when you are dragging a red!

Yep, my friend and I shot three red hinds and a staggie near Carlby Linc's many moons ago. We actually turned one on its back and floated it down a narrow stream to where we could pull it within 25yrds of the motor. The other, we had to drag about 500yrds across plough.  The problem was I only had my Ford Escort. We loaded two after a struggle and drove them to near Melton and the butcher , returning and fetching the staggie.  That was some day..   My friend, was the late John Toon (FLO Leics) and those that knew him, would say I was lucky to have him along.  Big lad.  ex Grimsthorpe reds are very big animals.

Well done, Neville!
That trumps my Norfolk Red Stag which a friend and I loaded into my WIFE’S Audi A3, which I had to drive across three fields and a (fortunately) shallow ditch for extraction. One spot of blood on the carpet and she found it instantly.
