The red stag is native to Europe and Asia and is one of the largest deer species living today. While large breeding populations exist in the United States, such as those at Cotton Mesa, they are typically found in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, as well as China, Mongolia, and Russia. Due to their wide range of habitats, red stags have become incredibly adaptable deer, thriving in forests, woodlands, grasslands, and mountainous regions.
They are known for their impressive antlers which they use during mating rituals and for dominance contests. Red stag antlers can reach up to 40 inches in length and feature multiple tines. Similar to the bull elk, these large deer can interbreed, creating a massive trophy to take down. Trophy red stags at the ranch can weigh up to 1000 pounds and hinds (females) usually weigh in at between 250 and 400 pounds. While red stag hunting season is available year-round, September to February is the best time of year to hunt trophy red stags, as their antlers are hard during this time period.
