gilly-93 31 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Red Stag In Velvet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn B 212 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I dont think they were big enough Gilly, but you could be right, they were a reasonable distance away. I thought Reds immediately, but a guy passing said not, but didnt know what they were! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J Darcy 5,871 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 110% red stag in velvet......without a shadow of a doubt. Some red antlers (where the feed is good) do have decent heads on them. Those thickenings of the antler are called treys (i think!).nice beast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 27,896 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Its strange how some of them seem to almost have the palmation of a fallow http://www.windermere-deer.com/index.php?o...=3&Itemid=3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Its strange how some of them seem to almost have the palmation of a fallow http://www.windermere-deer.com/index.php?o...=3&Itemid=3 thats because the antlers are still developing. When maturered, the same head would look different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FJager 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Yes definitely a Red stag in velvet, I think you will also find it is a farmed deer living on the very best of commercial foods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 27,896 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I am going to look at a park-deer herd of reds this week,if I see any like that I will get a snap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn B 212 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Thanks, good link, these Deer were in Woburn Abbey grounds. Looks like they are Reds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
