Deer, being wild animals, can easily be magical and mysterious presences while still being hard to reach for humans.
Marvelous deer are often the quarry in hunts. Catching them may be another matter, especially since the marvelous deer tends to be a lone animal; herds of marvelous deer are impractical for maintaining the marvelousness. (For the same reason, the deer in Woodland Creatures is seldom this.) Besides their rarity, such magical deer are often almost supernaturally elusive, sometimes to the point of being literally uncatchable. It can lead to Follow the White Rabbit. This may be what The Wild Hunt is after, if they aren't hunting humans.
A common element in these stories is that a character will eventually be able to chase down or corner the beast, which will usually serve as a good omen or sign of supernatural favor for them or may simply give them a chance to directly observe a wonder. After catching the deer, they will usually be struck by its beauty and nobility and choose to let it go, often with some commentary that something so beautiful deserves better than to end its days on a trophy stand or a feasting table. Note here parallels with a common trend in The Catfish, which also features a struggle between a hunter and a noble beast that ends with the creature's release back into its home.
These creatures are commonly encountered in pristine, unspoilt lands, usually far from civilization. The Ghibli Hills and Enchanted Forest are among the more common places where the Marvelous Deer may be found.
For the deer to be white — or golden — is common. They are more likely to be stags, with magnificent antlers, but not overwhelmingly. A fawn adds connotations of innocence. But these deer can just as easily bend towards unsettling abominations.
The common portrayal of white deer as magical figures in European mythologies and folklore is likely due to the fact that both the red deer (native to Europe since the last ice age) and fallow deer (introduced into continental Europe by the Romans and present in Great Britain since the first century AD) often produce leucistic specimens.note Leucism being a condition where melanin is absent but other pigments aren't, resulting in white or cream-colored animals. Since the gene that causes leucism is recessive, such white deer could appear suddenly out of a population of normally colored deer; this, to ancient people who did not know about genetics and inheritance beyond "like begets like" — a rule that such white animals would if anything seem to go against — would seem like a very mysterious and magical event. Combined with European cultures commonly viewing white as representing mysticality and purity, as well as white coats making their bearers stand out like ghosts in a forest's gloom, it isn't surprising that white deer feature as creatures of mystery and magic in many European folk traditions.
Contrast Bambification, as well as Moose Are Idiots for a much less favorable portrayal of cervids and Our Perytons Are Different and some portrayals of the Wendigo for a generally much less pleasant sort of mythical cervine creatures. A Sinister Deer Skull by itself also tends to be a sign of malevolence rather than magnificence. See also Crown of Horns. Compare Genial Giraffe, Unicorns Are Sacred, and Kirin.

Over the Garden Wall: The Beast of the Forest has some shades of this — a Humanoid Abomination cloaked in shadow whose defining features are a tattered cape, two Glowing Eyes of Doom, and a massive rack of antlers. Though meant to invoke Satanic Archetype (and perhaps reference the Wendigo), the deerlike horns lend him an air of eerie majesty. Though the final episode does suggest that these are branches, the deer image remains.

In Guild Wars 2, one of the Sylvari personal story options involves a white stag that appears to you in your Dream, a mystical pre-life experience shared by all Sylvari that imparts wisdom to them all. The stag appears outside of the dream, and a mysterious object of desire for both you and the Nightmare Court, who seek to transform this mystical embodiment of pure good into one of evil.

Dragon Age slightly deconstructs this trope with the Halla, a species of white deer that are sacred in the lore of Dalish Elves. Legend even says that the Halla carried Elven knights into battle during the golden age of the elves. However, ever since the Elves were enslaved by the humans, domestic Halla now mostly pull Dalish caravans and provide the Elves with milk and cheese. The Dalish also believe that their souls are guided to the afterlife by the Halla. Human nobles often eat halla, mostly just to assert their dominance over the Elves.

Skin Deep: White stags are a species of Always Male magical creatures resembling pure-white stags — literally pure white; even their hooves, eyes, and antlers are as candid as snow — and adults seem to have glowing balls of light suspended between their antlers. Since no white does exist, they need to breed with other cervine creatures — one white stag character is the son of a white stag father and a peryton mother.

Tyranny of Dragons: In Hoard of the Dragon Queen, the player characters might encounter a gold-furred stag while traveling from Baldur's Gate to Waterdeep. The book offers three possibilities as to the stag's nature: a majestic but completely normal animal that the local farmers view as a bringer of good fortune; a mysterious fey entity that offers the characters cryptic advice and a +1 longbow before vanishing into thin air; and an ancient cursed elf prince who turns into a stag whenever he leaves the ruins of his castle.

In Fe, deer play a significant role in the story. The first animal Fe befriends is a young hornless deer who can be ridden on and activates wind flowers to propel Fe to out-of-reach ledges. Sadly, shortly afterward, the Silent Ones capture it, though you get to rescue it at the end of the game. The second story quest involves freeing a gigantic deer from the bondage of the Silent Ones, then climbing up to its head to learn the song of the deer so you can activate the aforementioned wind currents yourself, which are even more useful now that Fe has the gliding ability.

In Hannibal, a stag becomes a recurring symbol in Graham's dreams, and occasionally appears as an Arc Symbol in his real life. Even before this, the first episode strongly averted Bambification; a murder victim was found with multiple puncture wounds and antler velvet in them, and before they ascertained that she was killed by a human and mounted on the stag's head posthumously, they discuss the various ways different deer species are capable of killing humans, either by stabbing them to death with their antlers or by pinning them to the ground and crushing them until they suffocated. The stag, and later an emaciated man with stag horns, are both used as symbols of Hannibal in Will's dreams and hallucinations.

Harry Potter: Harry's Patronus is a stag, to symbolize his father's animal form and that he's still watching over him. In fact, when it shows up out of nowhere to save his life, he assumes it is his father's, somehow. (It was actually cast by a time-traveling Harry from the future.) The seventh book also prominently features a mysterious silver doe that leads Harry to the Sword of Gryffindor. It's actually Snape's Patronus, and represents Lily, the woman he loved.

When a king goes hunting in the forest where Brother and Sister are living in a hidden cottage, the Brother, who has been turned into a roebuck by his wicked stepmother, makes a game of making the hunters chase him, then hides in the cottage for the night. Eventually, the pursuit of the mysterious roebuck which wears a golden collar leads the king to the cottage, where he meets a beautiful woman (the Sister) whom he falls instantly in love with and who becomes his wife.

Song of the Miraculous Hind: The first two "songs" feature deer prominently, explaining their significance to ancient Siberians and their Creation Myth, and including the fabled Golden Stag that had led medieval Hungarians to the Carpathian Basin.

The Saga of Hervor and Heidrek: Possibly. After vainly pursuing a stag for two days, King Svafrlami, grandson of Odin, catches two dwarfs whom he forces to forge the supreme sword Tyrfing for him. Maybe the stag was sent by Odin.

Pathfinder:
Erastil, the Lawful Good god of the Good Old Ways, has a stag/deer motif and takes the appearance of a Horned Humanoid with a stag head and antlers. His herald, the Grim White Stag, takes the form of a titanic stag made out of rocks and plants, and his shed antlers grow into lesser versions of himself known as cervine protectors.
A cerynitis is a magical deer with a golden pelt and metallic hooves and antlers (this despite all cerynitises being does), born when a deity of nature or the hunt blesses a regular deer. They're prized targets by hunters and adventurers, both for the challenge of catching them and for their valuable antlers and pelts, but the cerynitises are well defended by their incredible speed and agility, their ability to speak with animals, and fluency in the language of the fey, and in extremis goring attacks with their antlers.
Emperor deer are the result of centuries of selective breeding by Taldori nobles and their huntmasters to create increasingly challenging and exotic quarry to hunt. They're majestic beasts with racks of ivory-white antlers on both sexes, and with the stamina to run for days on end through any terrain while outrunning even the best horses. Folk myth says that catching one requires days of tireless pursuit until either the hunted or hunter drops from exhaustion, but indolent Taldori nobles usually just rotate packs of hounds to exhaust the beasts while avoiding any personal strain, and afterwards make up grandiose tales of their supposed deeds.

Princess Mononoke tells of the hunt to take the head of the Deer God, the avatar or embodiment of the life of the sacred forests of Japan. By day he is a deer-like god of life with tapir-like feet, a human-like face, and bushy antlers. By night he is the vaguely-bipedal, star-spangled-black god of death. Killing him is a hugely bad idea — all the sacred forests in Japan immediately die, and the beheaded death-god comes close to killing all humans as well.

Dungeons & Dragons
Basic Dungeons & Dragons
Module IM3 The Best of Intentions: During the Olympic Trials, the Immortal PCs compete in an event called "The Wild Hunt". They must chase and kill a great white hart twice as large as a normal deer. The hart is actually another Immortal in deer form.
Module O2 Blade of Vengeance. Karelia the faedorne sends a magical and intelligent white stag to lead Erystelle to the Circle of Dreams.
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition supplement Legends & Lore. In the Arthurian mythos, the White Hart is an albino stag that is seen by people who are about to participate in an adventure. It can run across water, and if followed while doing so, it will lead its pursuers to the magical island of Avalon.
Dungeon magazine:
Issue #5, adventure "Lady of the Lake": While the PCs are investigating a skeleton, a highly intelligent magical white stag appears. If the PCs follow it, it will lead them to the place they must go. If they accomplish their goal, a white deer with rainbow wings and golden horns will appear to them to show them that they have succeeded. Later on, another white deer will give them a magic item as a reward.
Issue #65, adventure "The Ice Tyrant": While the Player Characters are traveling to the ruins of Anghanor, they meet a mystical white stag that tries to help them by leading them to an old sentinel tower where they can get some help.
The Mystara setting adds the Actaeon, a race of humanoid elks who serve as guardians of the forests. They'll viciously attack any threats to nature, and their breath can transform targets into woodland creatures.
The 3rd Edition Races of Destiny supplement introduced the sharakim, a Human Subspecies believed to have descended from a hunter named Sharak who ignored his fellows' warnings and killed and ate a sacred white stag, earning the ire of the gods. Sharak and those who partook of the blasphemous feast were cursed with monstrous forms resembling horned orcs, and their descendents try to compensate for their ancestral sin by being as civilized as possible.
Tyranny of Dragons: In Hoard of the Dragon Queen, the player characters might encounter a gold-furred stag while traveling from Baldur's Gate to Waterdeep. The book offers three possibilities as to the stag's nature: a majestic but completely normal animal that the local farmers view as a bringer of good fortune; a mysterious fey entity that offers the characters cryptic advice and a +1 longbow before vanishing into thin air; and an ancient cursed elf prince who turns into a stag whenever he leaves the ruins of his castle.

Fallout 4: In a quest in the expansion Far Harbor, you confront Brother Devin, a member of the Children of Atom (a post-apocalyptic Cargo Cult who worship radiation and atomic power in general, which they refer to as Atom) who is killing himself in an extreme religious fast. He claims to have found his faith when, while indulging his drug habit in the woods one day, a "verdant stag, wreathed in holy Glow" strode out of the sky and commanded him to give up his iniquities and devote himself to the god. Given his wording, he almost certainly saw a radstag, a type of highly mutated two-headed deer, that glowed due to heavy irradiation (a common variant of most enemy types).

Total War: Warhammer: The Wood Elves — fey natives of ancient, magical forests — have two units of deer-riding cavalry in the form of the Wild Riders and the Sisters of the Thorn. The former are the titular hunters of The Wild Hunt and serve as fairly straightforward shock cavalry, while the latter are spellcasters sworn to the service of the Wood Elf queen, Ariel, and can cast a number of select spells in addition to throwing poisoned javelins. The Twisted and the Twilight DLC adds Great Stags, deer a good three times the height of a horse, as steeds for certain characters and as a unit of monstrous cavalry.

Them's Fightin' Herds: It’s stated a few times that the Deerfolk of Reine in the Tundra live in the highest pinnacle of society in the world of Fœnum. Which seems to be true; they live in houses a lot more sophisticated compared to the other ungulate inhabitants, they are worshipped and pampered by the Winter Sprites, living in a city they help built and gained magic abilities by eating special Golden Oats provided by the Sprites, which gives the reindeer special powers such as being able to control Winter Magic. Their Champion, Velvet, is one of the highest classed and the most skilled in this wintery weather magic (and probably the most pampered and spoiled) out of all of them.

Upon Robert's death, the ruling family effectively switches to the Lannisters, but they still rule the kingdom under the Baratheon name, and Robert's two younger brothers, Stannis and Renly, vie for the Iron Throne. While Renly is an opportunistic Jerkass who dies early on, Stannis is a righteous man despite his grim exterior, and has steadily gained supporters since saving the Night's Watch from the Wildling invasion in A Storm of Swords.

Pokémon:
Pokémon Gold and Silver: Stantler is said to be able to hypnotize and psychologically affect people and Pokémon with its antlers, which give the illusion of two large eyes in the center of each side. Pokémon Legends: Arceus gives Stantler an evolution in the Hisui region, the Normal/Psychic-type Wyrdeer, which uses its antlers like radar antennae via space-distorting psychic energy and is viewed as indispensable by the people of Hisui for the garments that can be made from its fur.
Pokémon Black and White: Deerling and Sawsbuck are the only Pokémon that change forms with the seasons. Sawsbuck's antlers particularly are marvelous as they're tree branches with leaves that grow and die throughout the year.
Pokémon X and Y features Xerneas as the cover legendary for X. Its antlers resemble chromosomes, in keeping with the games' genetic theme. It's also a Fairy-type, and within the series' mythology plays the role of a god of life and rebirth.

In Gautrek's Saga, King Gauti hits upon an isolated clan of hillbillies after vainly pursuing a stag for a whole day. This is somewhat of a parodied trope, as instead of the supernatural beings usually encountered in this way, Gauti only meets a bunch of crazy forest-dwellers. There is, however, a sexual adventure in it for Gauti, which leads to the birth of his heir.

Magic: The Gathering:
Overall, the game plays with this trope with the Elk creature type.
Generally, elk cards are Green (the color of nature), White (the color of order and moral law) or both. Their rules and flavor text generally associate them with purity and holiness. This is most prevalent on the plane of Theros, where Heliod, the White-aligned God of the Sun, frequently uses large, majestic stags as messengers. Deer are similarly associated with Nylea, the Green-aligned God of the Hunt.
On the plane of Tarkir, according to the card "Wetland Sambar," part of the initiation process for Jeskai monks involves approaching one such stag while holding a lotus flower. They can only proceed to the next part of their training if the stag eats the flower from their hand.
On the Plane of Mountains and Seas, it's believed that pale deer have lived for a thousand years and pure white deer for five hundred more. They're considered sacred, and some of the plane's natives search the wilderness for years to catch a single glimpse of these beings.
While the fairytale-inspired plane of Lorwyn/Shadowmoor didn't have any actual deer, it did get two separate spirits resembling snow-white, winged stags: the elemental of Purity (who has the ability to negate the damage done to you and give an equal amount of health instead) and the steed of the Archon of Justice. Other archons, hailing from the Arthurian plane of Eldraine, also ride winged stags — the Archon of Absolution rides a golden stag and wields a lance made from a branching antler, and the Harmonious Archon and Archon of the Wild Rose ride white harts much like the Archon of Justice's.
The Tempest Hart of Eldraine is a deer with antlers made out of lightning. The Monstrous Compendium supplement for Dungeons & Dragons describes these creatures as some of the most majestic creatures that live in the Stormkeld far above Eldraine. Storm giant hunters consider tempest harts to be the worthiest prey, though these stags are more than capable of defending themselves.
In "The Witch of the Woods", the werewolf Planeswalker Arlinn Kord recalls a time when she and her pack hunted a pure white deer with a smell she found strangely bewitching. They chased it for two days before cornering it at a cliff, but after that they let it go — according to Kord, "sometimes just laying your eyes on something's gift enough". The stag is later caught and devoured by the pack of another werewolf, Tovolar, as a sign of his mindless brutality and thuggishness.

The Endless Forest: The deer are the only animals in the forest that can cast magic and make any real changes to the environment. The gods are deer, and, whenever they appear, they may occasionally wear golden pelts. On top of that, the god-statue-given white pelt is meant to enhance their mystique.

Shadow and Bone: A subplot revolves around the search for Morozova's stag, a huge, mythical, all-white deer that roams the northern forests. Its body parts are valued as a Grisha artifact; whoever kills it gets an insane power boost. And Alina must have been dreaming of it since childhood for a reason... It turns out that the last bit about killing it is untrue — the deer chooses Alina, so it's her power that gets amplified and not Kirigan's (who actually killed it).

In Ash: A Secret History, the new Duke of Burgundy is chosen by letting the pretenders to the throne hunt a magic, otherworldly stag, and seeing who brings it down. To some who see it, the stag appears to carry a cross between its horns, as in the legend of St. Hubert below. After Floria kills it, it turns into just an ordinary dead deer, showing her bloodline's power to settle the world in a more mundane state.

It later wakes him up just before he succumbs to his injuries in a later arc, telling him "Not yet, little one." It's also implied that his predecessor and namesake, Quentyn of Ridgedale, had a similar encounter with the white stag.

Shadowrun:
Shasta deer live on the slopes of Mount Shasta in California. They have some connection with local nature spirits and appear to have latent magical abilities similar to those of spirits.
Paranormal Animals of Europe describes grandfather elk, a rare variant of common elk distinguished by greater size and a prominent beard, which occasionally matures from a regular animal. They're natural leaders of herds of common elk, which they guide and protect from danger. They do not allow their herds to protect them when they're threatened, however, because they know that this will cost the herd too many lives and that another grandfather elk will mature soon after their death anyway.

Warhammer: The Wood Elves are essentially The Fair Folk, and have a strong association with deer:
Their leaders have the option of riding Great Stags, which are less natural beasts and more Nature Spirits in animal form. The trope was accentuated in earlier editions when only their god-king Orion got to ride one (though in his appearances in later editions he's way too big to ride one).
They also have two units of deer-riding cavalry:
The Wild Riders, who are sworn to Orion's service and have been changed into something more than Elven by their association with him (and who used to ride horses before they got new models). They're essentially The Wild Hunt, and hit like you'd expect that to.
The Sisters of the Thorn are spellcasters sworn to the service of the Wood Elf queen, Ariel. They use support spells and poisoned javelins.

House of the Dragon: In the third episode, a grand hunt is organized in honor of the king's baby son. The king's men whisper of a magnificent white stag that has been spotted in the woods and aim to catch it as it is a good omen for the young prince, since the stag is said to have ruled the woods before the arrival of the Targaryen dragons. However, it eludes them and they settle for a regular brown stag that they have to hold down for the king to kill. The white stag, however, willingly appears to the king's older daughter Rhaenyra, who seems to take it as a sign of her path to the throne. She also choses to allow the animal to live instead of killing it how traditions demands and returns to the camp without telling anyone she saw the stag.

While being one of the most deeply magical creatures in the setting, and in many ways one of the most powerful — or at least differently powerful — it only very rarely gives any external hint of this, giving it a mundane appearance beyond the purely physical differences.

Pokémon Gold and Silver: Stantler is said to be able to hypnotize and psychologically affect people and Pokémon with its antlers, which give the illusion of two large eyes in the center of each side. Pokémon Legends: Arceus gives Stantler an evolution in the Hisui region, the Normal/Psychic-type Wyrdeer, which uses its antlers like radar antennae via space-distorting psychic energy and is viewed as indispensable by the people of Hisui for the garments that can be made from its fur.

The Smurfs (1981): In one episode, the smurfs tend to a black stag's wounds after it was injured. What they didn't know was that it was King Gerard, who was put under a spell by his evil cousin in a plot to take over Gerard's kingdom.

Pokémon X and Y features Xerneas as the cover legendary for X. Its antlers resemble chromosomes, in keeping with the games' genetic theme. It's also a Fairy-type, and within the series' mythology plays the role of a god of life and rebirth.

In Camouflage, a web novel by Kyell Gold, the Archbishop of Tigue is a stag, whose white pelt is considered a symbol of "purity". In true medieval Corrupt Church style, he turns out to be a sadistic, homophobic sociopath and a very closeted nutcase who rapes people sentenced due to their sexuality. At least he's still white furred, though!

Crusader Kings II: Your character states his goal to find the fabled White Stag whenever you choose to go on a hunt. There's a small chance of actually encountering one as well, which gives a prestige boost if you manage to bring it down.

The Hobbit: While Bilbo and the dwarves are in Mirkwood, they encounter a black hart that knocks Bombur into a river whose waters cause a supernatural sleep. Thorin kills it. Later, they see a shining white doe and fawn — unfortunately, by that time the dwarves are mostly starved and half-mad, and try to shoot them.

Against the Storm: While cutting through glades, there's a chance of encountering a treasure stag, which are considered to be forest spirits. You have the choice to either capture or release it; capturing it gives you some rare rewards, but also a curse, while releasing it gives you fewer rewards.
