Back in April, I went to New Zealand to hunt free range Red Stag and Tahr. This is the link to my hunt report: https://www.africahunting.com/threa...tahr-hunt-with-kiwi-wilderness-safaris.49412/

I did the dip and pack in NZ, then sent it to Houston for tannery work and and then to Major Creations Taxidermy (https://www.majorcreationstaxidermy.com/) in Cypress, TX (NW Houston).

David Majors called me Thursday morning and told me the Red Stag was ready. The timing was perfect, as I was heading to my home in Louisiana that afternoon and the weather was clear and dry. The stag was going to ride in the back of my pick up. I picked it up mid afternoon and a day later, got it hanging in the man cave. A friend came over and we removed the antelope and dall sheep and just barely were able to get the stag hanging. Right at the limits of a 10 ft step ladder.

The wall is now somewhat out of balance, which will require me to go do a moose hunt soon to fill the spot over the mule deer and nilgai.
 
Hell of a free range stag! And twice the trophy of one of those protein enhanced fenced frankenstags. Really well done.

NICE!! I hope mine looks just like it. But I won't know for several months yet. He's still walking around in Argentina.
 
Rey nice looking bull
 
Congrats on getting him home, looks good!
 
Looks great Dave!
 
I would suggest a quick jaunt to Argentina for one of the free-range stags offered by MG Hunting to balance that wall!
 
Red Leg, that is where my son Arthur L Lambart II and I are going in March. Supposedly we will be there for the "Roar."

My son and I are going in ‘21 at the same time. Keep us posted - and try not to wack the first one you see!(y)
 
Odd question - what are the dimensions on the stag on the wall? I am heading to Argentina soon for one, worried, I may not have enough room.

I am currently in Brazil, doing some consulting work. I was trying to figure out how to slip down to Argentina before heading back to the US, but couldn't make it work. When I get home I will try to get some dimensions and post it here.

Several other AH members have Red Stag mounts, so maybe they will chime it with some info.

Rough measurements:

From bottom (chest) to tips of antlers is about 48 inches. So if you have a 12 ft ceiling and put the points almost touching, the bottom will be at 8 ft.

From the wall to the tip of nose is 38 inches. The brow tines stick out another 6 inches or so.

The antler spread is estimated to be around 45 inches.

Hope this helps.
