Red Deer Stag
Red Deer Stag
Capture the power and presence of Britain’s largest land mammal with this majestic Red Deer Stag fine art print, photographed deep in Exmoor National Park. Taken during the rutting season, this magnificent stag was resting after a long night of rival calls and challenges — a rare, intimate moment made possible only through patience, respect, and careful fieldcraft.
With their acute sense of smell and exceptional hearing, red deer are incredibly wary, making encounters like this both challenging and unforgettable. This image reflects not just the beauty of the animal, but also the importance of putting welfare first and leaving nature undisturbed.
Available as a premium print, this piece brings the raw grandeur of the wild into your home — perfect for collectors, nature lovers, and anyone inspired by the untamed spirit of Exmoor. Exclusively available on my website.
The red deer stag is the largest land mammal in the UK and an iconic symbol of Exmoor’s wild landscape. Powerful and majestic, stags are especially impressive during the autumn rut, when their echoing roars — known as “bolving” — carry across the moor as they compete for dominance and the right to mate. With their muscular build, branching antlers, and commanding presence, red deer stags embody the untamed spirit of Exmoor, where some of Britain’s finest and wildest herds continue to thrive.
