When marking their districts they use smell glands at head and runs and also . Outside of these times live in particular older supports einzelgaengerisch and do not defend their district not, are however relatively location faithful.

Those Mating time (Brunft, sheet time) at the end of of July to at the beginning of of August takes place in our widths. With deer there is the in such a way specified Germ peace. The fertilized egg develops only starting from December and leads to the birth of the kitze in the May of the following yearly. The female deer (Ricke) sets to two, rarely three kitze, which are characterized by three longitudinal rows of white marks.

Deer become sex ripe at the age of one and a half years. Their life-span covers in the wilderness ten to twelve, in shank up to seventeen years.

Hunt

Deer are hunted in all European countries. Since the extermination of large raubtiere (, supports, the female ricken (in Bavaria, Austria and Switzerland also Geissen and/or. Swiss Geissen); one calls the young, to one year's deer sex-dependently Bockkitz or Rickenkitz (Geisskitz). The one year's female deer, which bore still no kitz, is called narrow deer. The one year's male deer is called Jahrling or Jaehrlingsbock. A young rehbock, whose hearing plant prognosticates a good development, is called also future support.The white mark at the back part of the deer is called in the hunter language mirror. The modern hunt orients itself strengthened at the respective biotope according to appearing correct number of the occurring deer and considers thereby above all the food competition of the animals. The Trophaeenjagd is to step in favor of a balanced age and sex distribution into the background.

Evolution

As supposed predecessors of the deer the kind became Procapreolus constituted, in Miozaen approximately 10 million years ago lived. The European deer as kind exists for approximately three million year.

Siberian deer

DNA analyses put near that the Siberian deer (Capreolus pygargus) its own kind is. It unites those before as subspecies of the deer led Siberian one and Chinese deer.
