Nice animals ozhunter but a bit puzzled by your reference to whitetail deer hunting. I presume you meant hunting the whitetail deer here on Stewart Island, the only area where they were introduced and live in NZ,

This is incorrect. They can be found west of Queenstown.

I stand to be corrected if this is the case. I know Fallow deer have always been in the area west of Queenstown but have never heard about whitetails, someone must have introduced them there fairly recently then. I have hunted most of our South Is animals with numerous trips to Stewart Is on whitetails, the only place you could hunt them in my time.
