Emperor Red Deer Stag
Emperor Red Deer Stag
Celebrate the untamed spirit of Exmoor with this breathtaking Emperor Stag fine art print. Known as the “master of Exmoor,” this magnificent red deer is one of the finest wild stags I have ever stalked and photographed. Roaming free across the open moorland and deep ancient oak forests — not confined to any deer park — this true wild stag embodies strength, age, and majesty.
Although not all visible in the image, this giant carried an extraordinary 23-point rack, a rarity in today’s landscape where such stags are seldom allowed to reach this age. To witness and capture him on camera was an unforgettable privilege, a moment of deep respect for a species so integral to Britain’s natural heritage.
Available as a premium fine art print, this piece honours one of Exmoor’s greatest living legends. Perfect for collectors, wildlife enthusiasts, and lovers of Britain’s wild places, it is offered exclusively on my website.
The red deer is the UK’s largest land mammal and one of its most iconic wild species. Found across Scotland, Exmoor, the Lake District, and parts of East Anglia, these impressive animals are easily recognised by their size, reddish-brown coats, and the branching antlers of the stags. During autumn, the dramatic rut sees males roaring, clashing antlers, and competing for hinds, filling the landscape with one of nature’s most powerful displays. Once heavily hunted, red deer now thrive in many regions and remain a powerful symbol of Britain’s wild heritage.
