The area provides some of the best conditions for an exciting fallow deer hunting. The stalking of a thophy has proved to be a challenge and requires hunter's best ability for a successful hunt.

An adult buck measures 90 cm (35 inches) at the shoulder, and may weigh between 64 and 91 kg (140 - 200 pounds).

The wild type is reddish brown above, flecked with white spots, with a white rump patch with dark borders. In winter the coat is gray-brown with less distinct spotting. Fallow deer are of a number of colors forms like yellow brown, black and also albino. The young buck set of antlers is broader-stemmed and the adult set becomes markedly flattened and shove- like.

The fallow deer rut starts as the red deer rut peters out, and finishes around the beginning of May.

These animals are mainly diurnal and generally prefer open country, often fleeing into open fields even when hunted, waiting there for the "all clear" signal.

Fallow deer live in herds, with males establishing territories during the breeding season. After the rut the bucks gather into all-male herds.
When fallow deer perceives some danger signal they run like a goat to alert the herd, visually and soundly.
