I have just picked up a couple of hundred acres that joins one off my permissions, it’s never been shot for deer apart from the owner taking one or two for the freezer and even then he hasn’t shot one for eight years  ..standing talking to him less than seventy yds away I counted 168 fallow laying in the field that adjoins his house ..as these were mainly doe's and last years fawns come early June there will be another 100 born , ...which just about wipes out every thing I culled this year from  next door and a place four miles away ...he’s left the deer alone on the basis he likes to see a few about , they keep the grass down and don’t cause him a problem ....He was asking me do I shoot the roe as he didn’t see them about any more ..you couldn’t make it up ! 

There's a  young fallow buck down on my mates permission ,see him regular when we are lamping,since before xmas .That is always with a small group of roe....never with his own kind .....anyone ever seen that?he's not very big, mates old man reckons it probably lost it's mother on the roads and took sanctuary with the group of roe when it was young?they seem to accept him and swear down ,he's never with other fallow......if you spook them ,he run off and always back to the roe deerI've never seen it before and I've been all over the UK working my dogs.

I’ve seen that a few years ago when I was in Essex ,I often see  a buck fawn sticking with a little group of roe but by the time it was  nine months old it had joined the young fallow ..we reckoned the same that its mother was killed and it ended up following the roe for a  few months ..
