Very nice pics Wim , to me they all look like the same kind of deer just different coats colours at different times of the year , like our white tails have a redish coat in the summer and grayish brown in the winter. So Wim is there a set time of the year you are allowed to hunt them ? what is the season on them and how many are you allowed to shoot ?

I notice in the pics you posted the deer have palmated antlers, but the red deer in the clip has antlers more like our elk.
Either one looks like a big deer!
I'd hold off on broadheads and see what the new ones Excalibur are coming out with are going to look like. I was going to check out a couple new types of fixed blade heads this summer, but now I'm anxiously awaiting Excalibur's new "Boltcutter" and "X-Act" to be presented before I buy anything.
