Meet Hartford



Meet Hartford our Red Deer Stag.....


He had 20 points this year. Hartford sheds his antlers every year on March 1st.... always.







A little triva.... Do you know the difference between a horn & antler? If the horns are shed every year they are called "antlers".... if they never shed they are called "horns".


Hartford starts growing his new set of antlers about 2 weeks after they shed. He is in velvet until about September.... when he sheds his velvet. Same cycle ever year.




Hartford soaking up the sun in the mud.

More triva.... If a Male Red Deer is a Stag, what is a female? Give Up? A Hines.
