Probably a hummel. Ive seen Hummels in Erua North island. Heaps of feed where they were seen and these things are massive. Common knowledge around here. I havent shot one yet, have seen 3 now. Extremely long coats, mane like a frigging yack and very solid big square bodies. When one of these barked at me a few months back, it sounded bloody weird, reminded me of Hellen Clarks voice, lol, was not proper manly at all though, long drawn out haunting bark, hard to explain but was a very strange almost spooky human voice. Was at a wallow,so has rutting/breeding urges. Im told by locals that it is a genetic defect that seems to be spreading, that these animals grow huge bodies as they arent putting energy into antlers etc. To conclude, I'm undecided on whether what I saw was either nz's first yack siting, or it was a Hummel or it was infact Hellen Clark out for a stroll in the bush....I will never know, but I am going to try and pop one of these mysterious creatures and when I do I will post a pic on here

Hummels are antlerless red deer stag. It abnormality is usually to poor feeding conditions in which the pedicles lack the potential to develop normal antlers.

Is it something that can be passed on through genetics or is it just because of poor feed?

@Wandering_wild Жыл бұрын

It’s definitely the first we have heard and see it. The rest of the stags we saw weren’t looking the best so maybe the feed.

My understanding is, There is a recessive gene that will occasionally throw a hummel stag. In some areas hummels are reasonably common in others a rarity. I know places like Marlborough they have a mineral deficiency.

If you also notice the other stags with malformed antlers. Which makes me wonder if it is more food side, as in lack of minerals.calcium and or selenium etc

@@Wandering_wild All the hallmarks of a weaner with what can be seen filmed. Easy to tell if on site, the basic check wasn't shown for some reason, so it's very possible the elusive Hummel is still eluding. The only couple of stags personally encountered there (latter 1970's & mid 2000s) were properly big heavy antlered ones, one notably. It once had some of the finest trophy heads, plus a famous one that got away. The post intensive commercial recovery era has shown good genetics persist, which will hopefully continue despite efforts to contaminate the established head styles by guiding types. On mid 2000s visit also happened to see a recently shot head that was a beauty, so no reason not to believe they're still there. The inadequate scenic & vegetation filming doesn't show completely stripped feed to the extent it would cause mortality & poor heads. There would be an improvement if veg was improved, but hunters oppose that (witness "Save the Tahr" bumper stickers). Plus commercial recovery targets the big ones, so a few less get through. Sad to see the gorse getting up there, as it does with vehicle access.
