It's too bad that the weather has not been cooperating to enable coyote hunters to get out and hunt them.

Absolutely no where in that link, does it say they were shot out as you claim, read it fully again.

You have confirmed it by saying some were taken from one area to their former range.
This is usually done to diversify the gene pool and build up the herd, which is just good game management.
Again you are confirming that they were not shot out, they were always there.

Thank you for seeing it the way it actually is .

More Crow ? do you want it as a snack or a full meal ?

Did you actually read my post #37,it seems you may have missed it so here it is exactly as written:


Posting u tube videos of selected places in Portugal means nothing.The Red Deer in this video had to be reintroduced in parts of the country as they had been
previously hunted out in other area,s.The Roe deer have also had to be reintroduced into parts of the country,partly to help in bringing up the native wolf population?

Please do yourself a favor and simply read the results of the deer hunting and moose hunting on this FORUM and you will see how wrong you are,getting worse year after year and over hunting is partly to blame.

If they were not shot out in some area,s of their range WHY did they have to be re introduced?

Are you the type of guy who keeps spinning his wheels on wet snow. LOL

Now please try and keep on topic here and stick to Deer,Red Deer even and stop talking blackbirds baked in pies and all that fairy tale stuff.

Moderators: new forum subsection for the bickering crowd please.

Oh I’m mostly kidding, somewhat entertaining watching you two go at it,

Still back peddling !
The fact still remains undisputable, undeniable that Portugal was , and still is their natural range.
They were never shot out, and reintroduction to bolster herds is simply good game management

" Although at one time red deer were rare in parts of Europe, they were never close to extinction. Reintroduction and conservation efforts, such as in the United Kingdom and Portugal,[7] have resulted in an increase of red deer populations, while other areas, such as North Africa, have continued to show a population decline. "
The above from the link I supplied.

Boy oh boy . you certainly have a problem understanding, don't you.
I am not the only one that says this am I!

I, done here with your s&%^$%y !:)

BTW don't forget to take your medication and have a good rest, as you must have been off it for a couple of days!

Just looking back at this, 8 pages, did not mean to start this sort of thing, just some recognition as to what we do.

Oh well, been 4 pages since I posted.

I,m Trying ! just can't put up with the b.s of his.;)
Remember some time back when he kept telling me that I didn't know where Havelock Township was , this went on and on, in the end HE was wrong, and this he hates because after all he is the one and only "Gilroy "


What else can I do to entertain myself while my new knee is healing. :D

No mention by me of all deer shot out,was there.I was talking in general terms of the lack of game in Portugal,period. Over hunting by hunters mostly the cause.
In relation to the deer I have tried several times to tell you they were reintroduced into parts of the country where they were "shot out" to replace those animals.
NOBODY every said that Portugal was not part of their range,after all they are native to Portugal.
As far as Havelock is concerned there are two Havelock Townships,one well known by all of us and more obscure one near Algonquin Park.Who really cares.
