Pere David’s Deer – 3 Day Hunt
The Pere David’s deer is a majestic and unique breed that originated in China. The informal name of this deer in Chinese, sibuxiang, means “four not alike” and refers to the Pere David resembling 4 distinct yet unlike animals. The expression in detail means “the hooves of a cow but not a cow, the neck of a camel but not a camel, antlers of a deer but not a deer, the tail of a donkey but not a donkey.” These deer were declared extinct in their native China in the 19th Century and were only saved because a few were illegally transported to Europe. They have been raised in captivity around the world and were reintroduced in China in the 1980s, with reintroduction in the wild occurring in the early 200’s. A Pere David hunt is a truly rare and unique experience!
