To cut a long story short, I was with a client out in the woods recently and at one of our stops we saw, in the distance, 3 Fallow deer! They were about 350 yards away but we had great views of a male and two does. He had a lovely rack and they all looked very relaxed, having a lie down and chewing the cud. Unfortunately, they were on land that I don't have access to so I couldn't nip over there to track or stalk them. Never mind, eh. It was still very nice to get confirmation that they are in the area and that I was (probably) right about the tracks.

Nice result Jon. I still get confused between Roe and Fallow tracks.
Pablo.
It is difficult mate - that's why I doubted myself at first!
There is a size difference with Roe being smaller than Fallow and there is also a bit of a difference in shape. The pad goes up to the tip of the cleave in Roe but not in Fallow.
Probably as clear as mud now.

It might be clearer *in* mud! (ha ha)
Thanks for the tip, back to the books.
All the best
Pablo.
Great post, I am almost 100% in agreement with you
