Season for Red Stags starts at August the 16th ends at January 15th. Prime time rut (roar) time (September).

As a matter of fact I will give that option (Stag in rut) a serious thought - guys there are in a rather strange situation. While they don't have problem selling biggest trophies (CIC gold and silver medal stuff), there is a big amount of trully big trophies in bronze (up to silver medal) stuff, and they are ready to drop the prices on those quite dramatically.

Here is a nice 195 CIC trophy of an old 10+ years old stag:

Trophy fee should stand somewhere between 2-3K euros...
