Red Stag
Trophy Quality
Free Range Stags grow racks from 5x5 to7x7, 36"-40" in length. Most hunters seek a 6x6 as in Sir Edwin Landseers classic painting 'Monarch of the Glen'. These Red deer have very light hunting pressure, so reach maturity and get the chance to grow antlers to their full genetic potential.
The Roar
The most exciting time to hunt is during the roar (rut) when stags are very vocal most of the day, chasing hinds (females) and fighting. The roar starts in mid-March and runs through to mid-April depending on the season.
The stags strip their velvet in mid-February and drop their antlers in September to grow a new set. Winter hunting can be very productive as the stags form bachelor herds and graze avidly to re-condition after loosing up to 30% of their body weight during the roar.

Their dark black antlers with white tips and huge cluster of points make them one of the most impressive deer in the world! Stags range in size from 300 SCI to over 600 SCI. Hunting these majestic animals during the "roar" is super exhilarating. You seriously have to experience this for yourself!
