    You have to understand that down, in the South Island of New Zealand. Deer are a pest to the environment. Not all hunting is to do with "Trophy Hunting" y'know.

    Is that a dead one in front of it? It looks as if it is mourning something.

    Hard to tell if one is behind the hill or actually on the ground..... I don't know if they lie down to rest. Will be looking that up.
