    Fallow deer experience anyone?

    First off they are the most wired deer I have hunted, found quite a few but by they time I clipped my release on my string they were barking and gone. Very tough to hunt as they don't give you those critical seconds like most muley and BT do in the timber.

    Anyone have any idea when the rut is for them? Do is it a little earlier like the island BT or a little later like mule deer?

    Can’t help with the info you are looking for regarding fallow deer because I have never been lucky enough to hunt them. Hopefully someone can help but I think very few BC hunters have seen let alone hunted fallow deer

    I won’t ask where you were hunting them but curious if this was public or private land hunt here in BC?

    I used to apply for the LEH draw for Sidny when it existed with no luck so I am kinda jealous lol

    Good luck

    ^ I think everyone reading this in the 1-1 is jealous!

    i would research European sites on info for rut season since it is more common game over there than in B.C.

    here is a link to the forestry Commission of England that mentions the rut season for fallow deer:
    https://www.forestry.gov.uk/forestry/fallowdeer

    good luck with your hunt!

    No worries I am betting private land anyway

    Congrats on the fallow but I may just hate you a little now lol

    congrats! if you found public land for fallows in BC, I'd keep that under lock and key too

    have only hunted and ate fallow in NZ, was by far the best venison I've ever ate
