.224 calibre rifles are legal for roe in Scotland, but not England, where .243 is the minimum (with a 100gr bullet and 1700 ft-lbs or thereabouts). So all the poms buy .270s and .308s for these tiddler deer that are smaller than a good sized NZ feral goat.

The English roe must be made from kevlar and kryptonite, and prone to fighting back.
