I understand there are several separate sections.

One section has reds, fallow, chital and sambar.

Another section has the same except for rusa and no sambar.

Another large section has wapiti but I haven't seen that section.

Maybe more. A large area has lots of lakes for which Watervalley is nationally awarded and in season duck shooting. I hope to be there then next year along with 600 (!) other duck shooters. That amount of water to me is fantastic SA and Aust in general (South of the tropics) being quite dry.

The wapiti herd above is not hunted but utilised for velvet deer farming. Still impressive to see hundreds of bulls from horizon to horizon.

Sambar and rusa will interbreed therefore they need to be separated. Same for reds and wapiti. Some interbreeding may have occurred at one time but they shoot thousands of deer for export venison so many of them would have been taken out.

I would imagine most of the feed is grazing though there are large areas and strips of bush which allow the trphy stags to escape too all too easily.

Total size is in excess of 100,000 acres (40,000 ha) behind wire.

If you venture down this way and the time is available and OK for my work I'll take you for a hunt down there.
