I counted nine, could have been more in the field with the three standing, they were lying along the side of the strip wood guts laden with autumnal greens had some kites on them, thought the wood pigeon was injured, but was just cutting about and flew away in fine fettle, wish I had a decent camera it was atmospheric, I like atmospheric

Are roe quicker than fallow?

I don’t think anyone could make that call, they can both move like f**k with a dog behind them.

Yeah, a decent dog should be taking roe without much bother, disrespectful to leave them to rot though, if you can't bother to harvest them don't bother running them.

Too many variables imho, depends on topography, situation etc.

As in, see them come out of a block of woodland into open ground and then double in behind and come at them from the block of woodland……I’ve seen munty just stand and wait to get killed in that situation, I can only assume because the only cover was where the danger was approaching from.

Seen Roe stand and watch a dog run up a beam almost as if trying to work out what it was and by the time they knew they were in trouble dog was in them.

Seen daytime fallow take dogs on an absolute steeplechase including across big open ground, through gateways and hedges and never look like tiring once. 
 

Also seen all the above take off at the slightest hint of danger like rockets, and seen them make all sorts of mistakes as well.

Personally speaking I’ve seen fast deer and deer that make mistakes….I never seen any slow ones ! Lol 

I’m sure more experienced people may know better.
