Red
stags are found across Ireland in both woodland and mountain side
and on private estates. We have access to world class red stags
on private estate. Our hunting range covers over 80,000 acres.
We also have some of the best private estates to hunt world class
trophy stags. Red deer cannot be hunted in County Kerry as they
are the only true native herd(s) left in Ireland. The rest of
the Red deer population across Ireland is of English park, German
lowland and New Zealand descent that have interbred with the native
reds. The red stags range from 8 points to 30 points. Estate stags
are far superior over the wild red stags that range across Ireland
in both body size and antler mass. The hunting season is September
1st to Feb 31st. The prime time or (rut) is the middle of September
through to the end of October. There is nothing like the roar
of the red stag and to watch them challenge other stags
in there territory on an early frosty mourning, it will send chills
up your spine... The body size will vary from 400lbs to 600lbs.
The females are called hinds which calve in mid May. Their diet
consists of acorns, farmers crops and wild grasses. These majestic
creatures are a trophy to be had!
