Red Stag (Cervus elaphus) (also known as Red Deer) are one of the most impressive species within the deer family. Their body size and antler mass make for an outstanding trophy. Red Stag are similar to the North American elk but slightly smaller. Older and more mature males will occasionally have crowns on the end of their main beams. These animals are usually a reddish brown color but when the males are in rut, they wallow in the mud which leaves them almost black in color.

Red Stag favor heavily wooded areas of our ranch. They tend to spend late afternoons out in the open areas. Red Stag graze in open fields during the night and return to thicker cover in the morning. This pattern makes for idea conditions for “spot and stalk” hunting and are excellent table fare.
