Deer

Deer are passive animals roam throughout the wilderness Tamriel, particularly the provinces of Cyrodiil and Skyrim. They are often hunted for their venison, hide, and antlers.

Oblivion
Cyrodiil's deer closely resemble the real-world North American White-tailed deer. Herds of doe are often found throughout Cyrodiil, however the stags prefer to travel alone. These deer are also popular game for Imperial Legion Foresters.

The avid hunter may find that for aggressive or quick-moving deer, a Destruction spell with a good splash radius, like Fireball or Finger of the Mountain is the quickest and most efficient way to thin the herd. It is recommended that you learn a strong destruction spell or to be a good shot with a bow before attempting to hunt deer.

Skyrim
Skyrim's deer resemble the real-world reindeer or caribou. They are fragile targets that are easily dispatched due to a very low amount of health. However, if you succeed in attacking one without killing it, it will often fight back, which can often be achieved by using a weak ranged spell. Deer often scatter at the first sound of a passer-by, making them rather hard to dispatch. However, characters with high Stealth can get closer to them.
