[QUOTE="lilharcher, post: 2456179, member: 83227"] Wildrose - had no intention of making this a ****ing contest b/c again, I am totally cool with free range or not. And heck, my uncle raises some monster Red Stag in South Texas, so I am a bit educated. Have also had a number of conversations with an ex New Zealand game warden to validate. True, mature and unaltered Red Stags are between 250 -300 inches in the wild with an occasional stag exceeding 300”. As for horn growth, they are like our Elk in the US, whereas a 400” Elk is a MONSTER, a 350” Stag is it’s equal. Those animals pictures may be released or bread from GMO animals, and live on a free range (yes, some without a high fence) but are essentially ‘estate’ stock. Again, a monster unaltered free range stag will have 14-16 points (total) and score between 300 - 350”. They are extremely easy to tell apart. [/QUOTE]
