Winter hunting for fallow deer often takes place in the areas where they go for food. During winter, the fur of this game is colored in a beige shade, which adds to the beauty of the hunting experience.

Hunting is not easy and requires a lot of patience and hunting skills because roe deer are extremely cautious and have excellent senses.

They often quickly move to the center of a meadow at a safe distance from the overgrown areas where a hunter might hide.

Biology

Fallow deer inhabit areas similar to their original homeland in the Mediterranean and southwestern Asia, which includes sparse deciduous forests interspersed with open areas for grazing. They can also be found in coniferous forests but need to venture into fields for food. They are active during the day and enjoy sunbathing in meadows and clearings.

Their diet composition changes with the seasons. In spring, they graze on budding vegetation, in summer they prefer leafy plant components, eagerly consuming grains during the milky and mature stage. In autumn, they actively gather seeds and fruits from shrubs, trees, grasses, and herbs. In winter, they browse on shrub and tree shoots and the remains of dried vegetation.
