    Feel free to move this to a different forum but it struck me the people most likely to be in the know would be here.
    I came across this print today while walking the dog and I figured you guys would be able to shed some light on it.
    It's as big as a cows track but the shapes way off any cow track I've ever seen but it's way way bigger than any deer track I've ever laid eyes on too. What do you reckon?

    Personally I only ever seen fallow until 2 weeks ago when I seen 4 sitka all together.
    I'm on the roscommon sligo border and I presumed all the reds were down south.
    In the nineties some French hunters used to release young deer not too far away from here to harvest in the following years, but God knows if they were able to get reds or not.

    I shoot reds in Roscommon within a hours drive of Mayo / Sligo border. Some of those boys grow very, very big.

    Look at the comparison of human hands and hooves. I shot and seen bigger then the one pictured. They can grow quite large in lowland areas.
