Tag in the ear

Shot a red the other day in doc land with a tag in the ear didn't see the tag when shooting. Can I get in trouble and dose this happen often? Who out there has shot one? Also tryed eating it and it's as tough as old boots this normal?

Don't stress mate you wont get in any trouble if it was on doc land:)
If there was a deer farm at the bush edge and you wanted to get in the farmers good books put the eid tag in his mailbox.

If it was on doc land it is fair game. No you cant get in trouble. Cant help with how tender it was. How long did it hang before butchering? What state was it in when shot?

As above.

A mate had a few get out a few years back, about 3 months later he got a ring from some guys who had shot one and traced it back to him.
It had gone bloody miles away threw prime habitat.

Could be an old animal. Was it stressed before you shot it? Only things I can think of.
Only tough venny I have had wasn't mine and was helicopter shot.

For the most part a deer fence is more of a psychological barrier to deer rather than a physical barrier. I have seen both stags and hinds under pressure clear a deer fence and have even seen a four month old fawn get close to going over on one occasion. They are also quite adept at digging, mostly under gates but fences also.

Yep you certainly don't want them doing that shit. The young fawn I referred to got its front hooves over the top but it's centre of gravity was low on the near side of the fence so it fell back and unfortunately landed awkwardly and broke its back.

And when they get going at speed they can go straight through the netting:(
Sounds like your hind may have been sick??

She went to the works eventually.
She was live capture and tangled in a fence, in those days it was worth paying a vet to amputate.
She had a fawn every year so she got to live....

The tag will have a farm number on it. That number can be traced to the farm it was bred on and then records will show if it was ever transported of that farm to another.

The only information you will be able to gain from the tag (if it is a AHB or NAIT tag) will be the farm on which it was first tagged and possibly the year it was tagged. The animal may have been on a truck twenty times, but there will not be any record of that. Very slim chance it will be a NAIT tag as they have only been out a couple of years (for deer).

Fair point but I have records of every animal I have bred and where it went to from here.

The fawn would have been 'planted', usually some distance from where the hind will graze...it wouldnt go anywhere without the dam.

Sorry i missed this post.

Probably a bit tough because she had only recently given birth and is or was being sucked dry by a hungry fawn.
3 days is not much ageing, plenty for a young animal in good nick and putting condition on but an animal doing it hard or looseing condition(like a hind feeding a new fawn) can do with more time,even 10 days.
If you don't have a chiller hang it as long as you dare then break it down and continue to age in the fridge.
