This is the front yard of Gavin's family farm! The stag of this group is lying contentedly there, while the hinds are very wary of us.

These hinds are all red deer. Most of the stags on the farm are a breed of elk (the name of which I cannot remember).

These are another breed of deer (don't remember the name). They are smaller and have white spots.

These deer are raised mainly to harvest their antlers! The antlers are cut off when they are still velvet, freeze dried and packaged, and sold to Korea(mostly)as a health suppliment.

some of the stags are sold as trophy stags, instead of having the velvet harvested. What a trophy!
