The result of not giving up until the end, watching countless rams go by, until the correct one steps out in fast fading light. This is a World Class Blue Duiker.

Fallow Deer arrived in the Eastern Cape with the British during the 1800's. Originally, they were kept on the ships for food, but were released upon reaching our shores. Over the last 200 years, they have spread wide across the Eastern Cape, and can be hunted in quite a few free range areas. They might not be an African animal, but we love having them here.

Some really beautiful trophies you took. What is the season on fallow deer in South Africa? They lose their antlers in August or so?

Hi Zach,
They are probably at their best at end March which is pre-rut. For rut you can generally work on the 14th of April give or take two days. They go at it pretty hard so they will break off tines. I wouldn't go for one after August. Probably find a few with one antler around then already.
