Interesting Facts About Fallow Deer

Fallow deer are native to Europe but found worldwide today, including the U.S., typically in white, chocolate, and spotted color phases.

Fully grown females weigh 60 to 90 pounds; males run 130 to 200 pounds. A young male’s antlers take about three years to fully grow, reaching roughly 20 inches wide. Despite their short legs, fallow deer are surprisingly fast.

You’ll find them in open grassy areas feeding early morning or near dusk, stripping bark from trees when grass is scarce, and resting in wooded cover otherwise.

Mating season runs late September through late November, when males get aggressive with one another. Fawns arrive in May or June, and fallow deer live about 20 years in the wild or 25 in captivity.

Fallow Deer Hunts Are Incredibly Fun!

Fallow deer aren’t the largest or fastest deer around, but their antlers are elegant and impressive, the kind that look great mounted at home. Antlers regrow annually and get more impressive with age: palmated, with an irregular scatter of smaller points and a single larger tine off the shovel, similar in look to moose or elk antlers. A trophy set runs 28 to 30 inches long with an inside spread of 24 inches or more.

Beyond the antlers, fallow deer make for a genuine challenge: patient hunters willing to handle rough terrain and stay downwind (these deer have sharp smell and eyesight) will find it rewarding.

Ready for the challenge? Our experienced guides will help you find a quality fallow buck, backed by meals, lodging, and the amenities that make the trip unforgettable.

The Benefits of Fallow Deer Hunting With a Guide

At Tioga Boar Hunting Preserve, hunts are fully guided. So, when you set out to hunt fallow deer on our ranch, you’ll do so with an experienced, knowledgeable guide. Why hunt with a guide?

A hunting guide is very familiar with his or her hunting territory. Guides know where to go to find fallow deer. They keep track of their movements week by week (and in some cases, day by day). Rather than waste precious time walking around land where there are no deer, a guide can take you to places where  you’re highly likely to find them. Guides are well-trained to help people have a successful hunt. They can handle all types of situations, from injuries to animal attacks and then some. Rather than being all alone on a hunt, it’s a smart idea to have others with you who can help should you need it for whatever reason, right?

Guides also act as teachers/mentors. You can learn a lot from your guide. They help hunters get their trophies, while also making the hunt a more fun and memorable trip. Meanwhile, they can impart their knowledge and “tricks of the trade.”

Guides are especially helpful to those who are new to hunting. They know what kind of weapons to bring, what to wear, what licenses are needed (or not!), etc. And, most importantly, they can take pictures of you hunting (and the deer you get) so you’ll have proof to show friends and family back home.

Do you want to bag a buck? Fallow deer are exotic and have great antlers– the kind you can proudly display in your home or office. They’re not typically found in the wild, but we have plenty of them on our ranch in North Central Pennsylvania.
