There isn’t a definitive answer to this question as there is no one word that accurately describes a group of deer. In the same way that we might refer to a group of sheep as a flock or a herd a group of deer can be called a drove a herd or a stag. Some people might even refer to them as a group of bucks or does.
Interestingly the term “deer” is actually the plural form of the word “doe”. In Old English the word “deer” referred to any wild animal but over time it came to specifically refer to these animals. The word “doe” came into English from the Latin word “damma” which means “female beast of burden”.
So if you’re ever unsure of what to call a group of deer you can simply go with the plural form of the word – “deers”.
