fallowbuck Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Some very good footage there! However some of those very large racks on the Reds are IMHO not really representative. They are almost certainly Red/Wapiti(American Elk) Hybrids!Large numbers of Wapiti were released along with Reds in the colonial era and they have most certainly interbred! The Scots have the same problem with Reds and Sika Hybrids. Good watch though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all new to me, and I'm trying to glean every bit of info from chaps like you with a view to getting into the stalking thing. I'm still at the pleb stage, what does IMHO stand for?

lurcherboy Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 When I visited in 2005 I was amazed to see so many from the roadside. I believe they are almost vermin there and shot at every opportunity. Yet to see one in the UK though LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
