The deer family, or cervidae, are a group of hoofed mammals found in Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa, and notably include the larger elk species.
History
5th century BCE
In the 5th century BCE deer inhabited the wilds of Greece. Their antlers were valued at 9 drachmae per pair.[1]
Of special note among the deer was the Hind of Keryneia, who roamed the forests of Artemision Point in Euboea, until the Spartan misthios Kassandra hunted it down and slew it.[2]
Renaissance
Towards the end of 1500, Rodrigo Borgia was charged by a stag during a hunting trip.[3]
18th century
The Kanien'kehá:ka Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton was adept at hunting deer and female elk, as well as fighting male elk. During his exploration of the North American frontier, he was informed of a buck rumored to be impervious to firearms, and of an overly aggressive elk. He successfully hunted both animals.[4]
Deer were also common in River Valley and Glace Bay during the Seven Years' War. The Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Patrick Cormac hunted deer often for crafting purposes or as part of hunting challenges.[5]
20th century
Nikolai Orelov trained his son Kenya to hunt deer. However, Kenya found it difficult to kill the animal after shooting it, despite Nikolai's orders to end its suffering.[6]
Behind the scenes
In Assassin's Creed III, the only live male white-tailed deer appears during "The Patriarch" memory, while a dead one is strung up next to Myriam's hunting cabin. Fawns (young deer) were also encountered occasionally with does (adult females), but they could not be killed.
