In 1982, the male/female sex ratio of kills in the states of Terengganu, Kelantan and Pahang was 2:1. This could be for two possible reasons : (a) In these states the number of bucks were twice that of the does OR (b) More bucks were killed because during this time. i.e. October and November, the bucks were in rut and were consequently more active The overell male/femalel sex ratios obtained in 1982 and 1983 were 2:1 and 1:1 respectively. No meaningful conclusions could be made for the age structure of the wild deer in the jungle today because of the small sample size. Only 19 lower jaws were collected and out of this, 16 were from the state of Perak. Most of the animals killed were between 2 -2½ years and 3 -4 ½years.
