RicW 67 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I was working in the letchworth area earlier this and used to walk the dog after work when i saw a deer how common are they? I can't speak for the accuracy of this but I have read that there is a big - 300lb - albino Red Deer in Scotland. The people who know about it are keeping dead schtum cos some dickhead would kill it just to have its head on his wall. Me, I'd want his head on my wall . . .

White ,and melanistic . About 25-30 years ago a white one outside a park warrented a passing comment . Now they are everywhere. But then Sussex was one one of those areas favoured with plenty of private park herds up until WW2 when Canadian troops are said to have had a bit of a field day when billetted in the big country houses . When they were'nt subsidising their rations they were breaking down the park railings during training excercises Mind you, knowing us Sussex lot I bet it were'nt just the Canadians who thought they needed liberating Quote Link to post Share on other sites
