Hi,
I did hear many years ago that any white deer would be culled by Rangers as the white made the herd too easy to spot by poachers, true/false, I could'nt say.
Max.

Max. | They'd do well in the snow though. I suppose it's possible it would have been viewed as a weakness.

I was told rangers usually cull the stags with disformed/ dangerous antlers first, im not sure about their colour & culling.
EDIT- although i did see a tv show filmed in Scotland where they culled the first deer they found so i supose it depends on the management plans for the area

I know that there is a fine if you shoot a white pheasant whilst on a shoot as they are especially bread to give the keepers a clue at a distance as to the whereabouts of the majority of the birds. Oh and a cash prize if you shoot charlie (a fox). Maybe the white Fallow strain were bred by the Normans for same reasons. |

Not a good thing to be at the moment, a white deer, seems to be open season on white stags and bucks (this one was a fallow) its a shame these creatures are magical to see in their own habitat.

Today 15.00, I was driving along the A281 between Horsham and Handcross, reference point Horsham, UK - Google Maps
near magpie lane junction, and on the verg was a fully grown pure white deer, female I think. It had just been run over. It's still there. |

If you read through these posts you would have noticed MH68 quote this
"Good on you for not giving away the location of that beautiful animal,and well done for getting the photo published "
Oops sorry missed the last bit where you said it had been run down.Although I still believe where it was should not be given away in case there are others in the area

True,
But I was rather hoping that the moron who shot the stag would find this one and try and remove it's head. And whilst doing so get get run down, as it is on the side of a busy main road!  | | | |
