hinds

Female red deer

Hinds is the plural of hind, a female deer—specifically a red deer in its third year or older.

The word is more common in British English and literary contexts: The hinds grazed at the forest's edge.

Hind also means rear or back, as in hind legs, but that sense rarely pluralizes.
