Lancaster, thanks for posting. There are many instances of imported animals getting out.

Several years ago, a friend posted a picture of a young red stag on his land in middle Georgia. Since then, there have been other sightings of red deer in Georgia. These apparently escaped from game ranches. I am not sure if any survive. I don't think that there were any red deer breading in Georgia, though at one time, there were some elk in Georgia which I believe are closely related to red deer.
