Red Deer Stag at Knepp

[Uncle Kevriano]

An afternoon trip today and we came across this magnificent beast with the biggest hat rack I've seen on any Red ever. Definitely the ruler of the herd at Knepp, he had at least 27 females in his harem.

Yes it is. Monarch is a term for any head Stag in a herd, but also one with over 16 tines (points) on the Antlers. He's way past that
