Have any of Y'all ever seen the Fallows around Miller's Ferry? I have an old video that my MIL took of one there. It was like a 30pt. and had a 2 foot spread.

Since so many folks have moved in around the place I have not seen one in a long time. A friend of ours that is deceased now, Mr H was supposed to be the one that had them imported as the story is told.

I know a guy killed one last year somewhere up around there, just curious if anyone ever see's them anymore.

There are a few off HWY 82 just out of Union Springs inside a high fence...

I killed two fallow bucks in Wilcox in the early 70's. They were already on the decline by then.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Saw one between Rehobeth and Safford in '79 trotting across a soybean field. I remember going into a few old hunting camps in the area and seeing them mounted on the walls along with some HUGE white tails.

There have been VERY few spotted since the tornado hit Sand Island. I feel like there are a few around. But, they will soon be all gone.

The tornado was a close call for us, I have not seen many well before that though. We used to see them a good bit before all the places were built on the non slough side of Sand Island.

competition from an expanding whitetail herd and scoped rifles doomed the fallows.....

We used to have a camp at Miller's Ferry and saw them all the time. Have not been back in about ten years so not sure now.

They wouldn't happen to be behind a high fence would they?

Were you hunting with Lawliss back then? He had 1 mounted from there about that time. He was a good friend that I miss hearing his stories.

They escaped a high fence from my understanding and are breeding. Problem is if they get off a certain few properties they get mowed down.
