It just boils you over with anger to read something like this. I won't write more, think everyone will feel the same and most of us would be banned if we truly expressed our opinions as to how this make us feel deep down.

Shame.
Its worth pointing out that the white deer (in the first link) in the New Forest are a colour variant of the Fallow Deer. The one in the picture is one of the Fallow bucks that hang around the Bolderwood area & come to the deer viewing platform to be fed in the summer for the public by one of the Forestry Commission Keepers.
The one that was shot on the Devon and Cornwall border (in the second link) was a white Red Deer stag, much rarer. |

Well, this left me speechless but not completly surprised, this world we live in has become money driven and anything unsual which walks or swims is killed for money, my suggestion is that if you see something so rare and beautiful, dont tell a soul, that might just save its life, many creatures on our wonderful planet are becoming extinct, all because of the dollar sign and pure ignorance, I hope they catch the person or persons responsible for this mindless death but I doubt it. There was a story a few years back that told of 2 white foxes, the place was named and hey presto, someone shot them, it is disgraceful but places and things like this should not be disclosed, ever. |

I joined this wonderfull site a couple of days ago and i actually took the picture of the white buck (not a stag) in the Daily Echo. I was interveiwed by a reporter over the phone and was completely honest with him except for the position i took the photo. I just hope that any sad copycat trophy hunters have a long uncomfortable and frustraiting time trying to hunt him and wouldnt it be nice if they got nicked whilst trying. |

Nice to see someone else on here that spends some time on the Forest Rob. |

I've just seen a piece on the BBC news website and it seems they have seen a white deer calf in the same area that the stag was so cruelly killed. Maybe his legacy will live on......... BBC NEWS | England | Devon | Sighting of rare white deer calf
