    Maybe the clowns that let that deer off a few years back will let another off to replace the culled one.

    I understand that people are upset about a single deer it would be interesting to see one around if you are not used to it. I cannot explain how this is a story in a national news paper it is clearly an escapee from a deer farm

    The Kerryman is a local newspaper and there are no Sika deer farms.

    Many years ago I dwelt in a small town in the Netherlands that had a deerpark. Nice especially for old folks and kids. Could the aggrieved farmer not have reported his problem to local wildlife rangers? Would a nearby town not be glad to esconce the deer in a similar enclosure?

    They're wild animals.

    Wild deer while nice to look at, they are wild, they occasionally will attack humans during the rut, they cause traffic collisions often resulting in serious damage to vehicles, injury and death. They can transmit TB, carry ticks and transmit lymes disease through them. They damage fencing and eat grassing land. Sika are not a native specie and in my opinion shouldn’t be in Ireland full stop. They compete for food with the only native specie the Irish red deer. Why are people treating this like they’re an endangered specie. While not plentiful in North Kerry all three deer species are found there. So stop the crying over a solitary stag. He was not afraid of humans through contact. It’s like feeding bears in canada, it never ends well for the bear. If you see a deer do not try to domesticate, give it a fear of humans. It’s the only chance it has to survive.

    Can you expand on your thoughts there a little as to why you think that maybe?

    Because he didn't deserve to be shot.

    I’m from nearby, the stag was shot without permission from the landowner. He also gave a false name when confronted. He is from the nearest village in Limerick and the matter is with the Gardai.

    Who confronted him ? Bit stupid in a rural area where everyone knows everyone else generally.

    The landowner apparently confronted him. There is supposed to be photographic evidence as well. The stag was very popular in the area and the locals are not happy. The hunter did have a license but not permission, he was also outside his 5km and in another county to the one he resides in.

    That looks more well done than it actually was, it was cooked to medium.

    Would this be more to your preference Jesus?

    I don't like it too pink myself but I'll always consider my guests preference...

    The key point here is if he did not have permission, the other points you made are irrelevant if he did have permission.

    Probably for the better since the thread has generated more heat than light.

    Bus, bicycle or walked,???? Can't imagine Kerry sika respect a line on a map. There eruptive population type growth prevents them staying in one area only, for ever.

    There are Sika, from kenmare, caherdaniel, rathmore, glenbeigh, Tralee, ardfert, castleisland, duagh, and everywhere in between, just because you can’t pet them does not mean they’re not there. Maybe not in such large populations or visible as around Killarney but 110% there.
