Red Stag Facts and Hunting Information

Red Stags were first introduced to Rock Creek Ranch over 10 years ago. The larger bulls tend to hide on hill sides of cedar and in the more forestry underbrush. In the warmer Texas months it is not uncommon to find them in or wallowing in nearby watering holes. They are heat tolerable and need proper shelter during the cold winds.

This is very Popular on deer farms for venison throughout the United States this is because they are large, and are easier to handle than elk. Although they will interbreed with Elk and hybridize we do not have Elk on Rock Creek Ranch.

Larger Stag will form a crown at the tip of their antlers which are made of bone and can grow over an inch per day in velvet. After their horns harden they will stop growing and drop in the spring months of March. We recommend hunting Red Stag in Texas at Rock Creek Ranch from September to February due to the hardness of horn.
