Fallow Deer
DESCRIPTION:
Fallow deer (dama dama) are about the same size as axis deer with coats in different color phases: brown/black, white and spotted. Fallow deer antlers are broad and shovel-shaped with brow tines and usually several points off the palms. Introduced from Europe in the 1920-1930s, fallow deer also rut in March and April as red deer do. However, the fallow’s rut is not as spectacular or as violent as the red deer’s roar.
SUCCESS RATE:
During the rut success rate is close to 100% dropping to 90% in May and June.
GUNS&AMMO:
The same calibers used for red deer, with lighter bullet points (130-150 grains), will work perfectly with fallow deer (30-06, .270, .300 Win Mag, etc.).
