Episode 11 – April deer and their antlers
Deer grow a new set of antlers every year, so they cast off the old ones in April, leaving them strewn about the country to be found by curious ramblers. This episode of Nature File tells the story of Ireland’s deer, from prehistoric giant deer to more recent introductions, and how these much loved doe-eyed friends are eating their way through the last of the wild oak woods, as we reassess the concept of what it means to be wild.
