In snowy conditions, the hunt moves beyond the question of success and becomes one of survival, judgement and resilience. In a separate sambar stag hunt, we explore why these deer are so notoriously elusive. We also turn to the majestic fallow deer and look at why they remain a prime target for Australian hunters.<\/p>\n
