David Attenborough has some very interesting documentaries on this - great for an rainy afternoon when you would rather be hunting.
The Galapagos are very similar to New Zealand in their remoteness: an ideal evolutionary pond.

Finches and Tortoises have been observed to be different on different Islands/niches. We havent observed that change, only noted and theorised their differences and why they may have occured .
Talking about evolution is a bit like talking about religon and 1080. You can have opposing veiws and each side know they are right.

Time horizon is a lot shorter than normal: check out some articles. Arguing semantics doesn't help and yes - each side will argue they are right
Deer are here to stay (hopefully...) recognition as an asset (think Fiordland Wapiti Foundation) is more helpful than scorched earth.
