Great video! Good shot. I shot a black fallow buck just like yours way up in Steele Creek, in the Greenstone Valley, in May, 1974, during a six-day trip into there. Also shot black fallow bucks in the Paparoa Range in 1972. Check out my hunting memoir 'RED DEER WRITING', now available in its new edition through any bookshop in NZ.
Fallow spread like crazy. In 1972 they were almost everywhere in the Paparoa Range, and we shot ours in the southern part of the range near Barrytown. Fallow have during the past 20 years spread up the Wilberforce and the Rakaia, and into the front hills around Glentunnel and Springfield.
