What kind of Deer is this?

[Deer Tracks]

The deer in the first picture is a young fallow. The "sheath" is a give a way. The deer in holdem's picture is a sika...white rump, wedge shaped head, and enlongated antler pedicles.

OK it's one of those!

Definately a fallow. The sheath or hair on his thingy is only present on fallows.

Fluffer - Fallow - no question

Holdem - Sika - no question

It's easy to get them confused if you haven't seen many, or had them on the ground, but once you know what to look for, they are very different looking deer.

Ground Check Req'd.

Choc. Fallow you can see the palmation starting on the left antler just starting.

I'd let him go at least another year

100% that its a 2year old chacolate fallow buck. Most fallow at 2 years of age never show any palmation until they are 3. You can also see the extra hair on his male parts. There is a faint line of spots across the middle part of his body. I am 100% its a young fallow buck.

The deer in Holdem post is a yearling sika buck. There are 12 different spices of sika. This one looks to have spots above its tail head meaning it might be a Dybowski and Japanese cross or a Mesiptainian Jap cross.

Very informative krazykritters, Thanks. Would you analyze these guys also ?

The first one looks like a sika, second appears to be fallow, do you have any other angles on the second one?

first pic fallow
second sika
third sika
fourth sika

[krazykritters]

Now your asking for a lot. The last pic might possibly be a formosin sika (check spelling) or it might also be a Dyboski sika. Formosin sike usually show the spots a lot more than a Dyboski. Is kind of hard to tell. As he gets older you should be able to tell the defference due to the body size. The dyboski will be a lot bigger animal almost comparable to a young Red deer. This pic before the one with spots is a Japanesee sika a much more common sub species of sika in texas. However it might very well be a chocolate fallow. Both are yearlings. If you had another angle of the first pic i could be more deffenent.
