Very untypical German red stag. From an AR discussion.

One should say an improbable Stag. Almost an aberration.
3 crowns ?

A rarity, and what a trophy. Is it a Stag from Luneburg Heide?

Yes it is. I pinched it from a discussion on the European AR forum. Because it is such an usual head. I wanted to see what comments members here had.

I think I might invite the gentlemen who posted the photo to share some comments if he is willing (and let him know I 'pinched' his photo as well).

Looking at this head, wouldn't it be amazing if the genetics from a head such as this, could be isolated through selective breeding to produce a sub-species like this. Especially if a matching antler could be duplicated. Of course excellent feed would be required to grow such a head. Selective breeding of that nature would only be possible in a 'captive' herd.

It reminds me of the ??? deer of India (??? trying to remember their name).

Barasingha deer might be what you are thinking of.

What if you could selectively breed the stag so it grew that on both
sides - now that would be impressive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You should see some of the heads coming off farms in New Zealand.

A US mate of mine shot a 26 Pointer and that was considered "small".
I told him it looked more like a hat rack than a Red Deer.

The Deer Farm next to where I go with a NZ friend has BIG, 20 - 30 point
stags and clients fly in from the US (and I'm sure other countries),
shoot the deer over the weekend and fly
home - not bad way of earning $10,000. My friend watched one day as they
had been keeping track of this particular deer as the client was coming so
didn't want to lose it.
