The Red Deer is one of the largest deer on the planet, next to the Elk or the Moose. The Red Deer stag also carries a large rack of antlers, which adds to the prestige in hunting the animal to add to your exotic trophy collection. The average Red Deer Stag weighs around 750 lbs and stands about 5 feet at the shoulder, although they can reach up to 1,000 lbs.
Red Deer are prized for their large antlers which start growing in the spring and are shed each year, usually at the end of winter. Red deer antlers are distinctive in being rather straight and rugose, with the fourth and fifth tines forming a “crown” or “cup” in larger males. Any tines in excess of the fourth and fifth tine will grow radially from the crown. Red Deer are also highly sought after for their excellent venison meat. Red Deer meat is most abundant and most venison prepared in restaurants is from the red deer.
