Deer
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
Toward the end of 1500, Rodrigo Borgia was charged by a stag during a hunting trip.[1]
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.[2]
Deers were also common in River Valley and Glace Bay during the Seven Years' War. Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Patrick Cormac would often hunt deers for crafting purposes or as part of hunting challenges.
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.[3]
Trivia
- A male white-tailed deer only appears during "The Patriarch" memory, while a dead one is strung up next to Myriam's hunting cabin.
- Fawns (young deer) were encountered occasionally with does (adult females), but they could not be killed.
