Catalog company cofounder

A roebuck is the male of the roe deer, a small species native to Europe and Asia.

The term appears in older literature and hunting contexts: The roebuck bounded through the forest.

Like buck for other deer, roebuck specifically denotes the adult male, distinguished by short antlers shed and regrown annually.
