New Zealand Game Animals<\/h2>

The high-country native land in New Zealand, where deer roam, is a rugged and untamed landscape, characterized by its dramatic mountainous terrain, steep valleys, and expansive plateaus. This region is covered in native tussock grasslands, which are interspersed with patches of beech forest and dense shrubland, offering a diverse habitat for deer.\n
\n<\/br>\nFlax Hills is a remote and secluded property with elevations ranging from 300 to over 550 meters above sea level. The climate can be harsh, with cold winters, frequent frosts, and occasional snow, contrasting with warm, dry summers. This variability creates a unique environment where only the hardiest of plants and animals thrive. Deer in this habitat have access to a variety of natural food sources, including native grasses, shrubs, and the leaves of forest trees. The terrain provides natural cover and shelter, while the varied landscape ensures a range of altitudes and vegetation types that suit different deer species throughout the year. The high country is not only a vital ecosystem for wildlife but also a stunning representation of New Zealand's natural beauty, with panoramic views, clear alpine rivers, and a sense of untouched wilderness.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

\nTHE FALLOW BUCK<\/h2>

Fallow deer were brought to New Zealand from England and Tasmania (Australia). They are distinguished by their unique, flat \"paddled\" antlers, which are more similar to those of a moose than a red stag. Additionally, fallow deer display the greatest range of colours among all deer species.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
