What is a group of deer called?

A group of deer is commonly known as a herd or a bunch. However, different species of deer display different terms for their groups. For example, a group of white-tailed deer is called a “fold,” while caribou are referred to as a “mop.” Some species of deer are solitary, while others tend to congregate and form larger groups. Groups of deer can range in size from just a few individuals to over a hundred members, and they are usually led by a dominant male, referred to as a “stag” or a “buck.” Deer groups have an inherent social hierarchy, with the strongest males and females occupying the highest positions. During mating season, male deer engage in head-to-head battles known as “rutting,” in order to establish dominance and win the right to mate with the females in the herd.
