[QUOTE="A1an, post: 5417546, member: 54674"] Not straight off the bat. They take time to accept they are captured but done properly the are relatively easy to tame. I captured 30 red hinds to start a farm off. I fed turnips in a fenced off hill park allowing the deer access in to the park at night time, after a couple of months I shut the gate one night. Previous to shutting the gate I would go and sit at the edge of the field at night time, coming and going through the night to try and 'acclimatise' them. Once captured I would feed them in the dark and slowly start to feed in to daylight. After 6 weeks of captivity they would chase the land rover as it came in to the field. I spent many a day just walking around them, watching, learning. They are very clever animals and learn fast. [/QUOTE]
