"The fallow deer is a native species of Western Europe but has also been introduced to many other parts of the world by humans. Its name is derived from the deer's typical pale brown color. The bucks develop antlers that start out as single spikes and then often grow into broad and shovel-shaped (palmated) antlers which are lined by multiple smaller points. Bucks typically weigh in the range of 60 - 100 kg (130 - 220 lb). Does have no antlers and often weigh in between 30 - 50 kg (60 - 110 lb). The fallow deer is an herbivore preferring a mix of woodlands and open fields for grazing."
― In-Game Description

The Fallow Deer is a medium-sized class 4 animal, and can be hunted in Hirschfelden Hunting Reserve, Te Awaroa National Park, and Emerald Coast. However, Te Awaroa is without doubt the easiest map to grind because it has fewer drink zones for the fallow deer. On top of that, they only roam the South-Eastern part of the map.

    Trivia[]

    • The Fallow Deer was one of the original species you could hunt on game release (December 2016).
    • They get their name from the color of their pelt; as in they have a 'Fallow' (pale brown) pelt.[2]
    • It is possibly the most hunted "exotic" species in the world, as it has been introduced to every continent except Antarctica.
    • Following hundreds of years of transporting them to different corners of the world, knowledge of their native home has been lost to time. However, most people believe they originate from the Mediterranean region.
    • The scientific name for the Fallow Deer (Dama dama) is - together with the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus), Harlequin Duck (Histrionicus histrionicus), American Buffalo (Bison bison bison), Axis Deer (Axis axis), Moose (Alces alces), Greylag Goose (Anser anser), Willow Ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) and the Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx) - a tautonym: a scientific name in which both parts of the name have the same spelling.
