Fallow Deer

The Introduced Woodland Deer

The fallow deer is an introduced game species known for its elegant body shape, varied coat colours, and broad palmate antlers. Although not native to Africa, it is found on selected game properties and estates.

A fallow deer mount should preserve the animal’s antler shape, facial detail, and refined body structure. Shoulder mounts, pedestal mounts, skull mounts, and custom displays work well, especially for clients who want an estate-style display or mixed game collection.
