Red Deer
(Cervus elaphus)
The Scottish Red Deer is the same species as its European counterparts, though it tends to be slightly smaller. This was once thought to be due to competition for available forage material with he "Wild Haggis." Now with the near extinction of the aforementioned "Beastie," the reason remains disputed.
Red deer cast their antlers in March/April and regrow them through the velvet phase to be fully formed by late August/September. These antlers become larger with each passing year, with an incredible amount of growth with each passing season.
Red Deer have been around for as long as Man in all likelihood. Cave paintings have been found of these animals in Europe, dating back 40,000 years. They migrated to Britain by land bridge around 11,000 years ago. They were a good source of meat, fur, sinew and bone and were regularly semi domesticated by early humans.
