you MAY FIND the woodleys,if they are as hard as you suggest will pencil through fallow.......swings n roundabouts.

i used someones experienced information passed onto me to explain what a woodleighs doing in a rusa, .... will often find a 150 ppsn or coreloct etc inside a fallow frm a good shoulder shot, anyway, not enough difference in my mind for rusa v fallow here in aus, your mileage will vary with ya Rubars up north there, they will have that gene that the sambar carries.... very strong will to live, i would assume.

anywho.... cheers fella
