out in the open mate a fast dog make roe or fallow look slow mate i think i’d say roe have more speed than a fallow but most just rip that back leg tendon they slow right up 

With bigger deer it’s more having the balls to take the, than speed , I’ve seen coursing dogs that murder roe but will pull up on fallow ,

Any deer like any animal is a lot wiser ‘ smarter if it’s been dug / run before , certain parts of country will have better quarry than other parts

What do you call a small field. And are you walking or in jeep.

I was daytime walking with my lurchers.

We do have large fields in my area but rich men pay big money to stalk hunt all winter.If you get caught poaching deer or lamping deer you go directly to jail.They take your truck.Poaching deer in my area has always been considered the worst wildlife crime imaginable.

The fields bordering the swamps where I took my lurchers are chopped up in about 5 acre blocks surrounded by briars,vines and river cane.(bamboo)

It’s also a bit like most other quarry, and dogs and indeed people ......lots are average, some are shit and some are good.

I’ve seen some fast dogs not even get a bend out of roe deer.. I’ve not run a lot of fallow so of the few I’ve seen and caught  I can’t comment much..

Oh yes don’t I know it   But in all 3 it’s easy to work out if you’ve been about a bit

I’d say it’s some and some. Pre ban, seen dogs straight like deer, take them out of the seat, and yards from cover etc. Also seen dogs made to look silly by pretty much every type of deer, and a good strong fallow or roe buck out in the open and motoring isn’t slow, and a good size fallow when running flat out (especially with any gradient) is a rough thing to stop dead in the open. Takes the right dog. 

Speed don't mean f**k all if there's nothing to bounce them off for most fallow, doesn't take balls either. Big deer are a skill, seen dogs that won't take fox take fallow

Will make it look slow, don't mean it'll grass it. Big fallow are like halfway between a horse and a cow. They take stopping

I meant shape wise/ running style not size but they're lumps for sure.  Those big bucks dwarf any dog
