For growth, they are covered with film, rich in blood vessels supplying them liberally with the necessary building substances, mainly calcium and phosphorus increased so quickly. Under normal conditions in early July horns are already fully developed. Then the elk auction them on the bark of trees and their skin starts to peel of rags.

Deer horns are thick and are produced by bone. Depending on the age they vary in shape and size. The years do not correspond to the number of spikes.
Among male calf horns start to appear next year after birth in February. Then head to form stalks - small bumps covered with fur, horns on which are formed by spikes and drop off two years old.

The red deer are fighting with bullets. The hunter must have binoculars in order to better assess whether the observed animal is suitable for acute or not.
Hunting these animals is only through selective lurking, stalking and enticement. They hunt at dusk is when the deer leave their nest in search of grazing, or early morning when I return from grazing. Good results are obtained after the rain. Then the water that drips from the trees, disturb animals and forced them to leave earlier over fields, meadows and open areas.
One of the most important conditions for this method of hunting is to choose a suitable place for lurking. If there is no natural Stealth, it is the place to be marked with several branches.

Red deer fight hunting rifle, equipped with an optical device, a distance not exceeding 150m. When he stands across the hunter weighed it in my side. If the bullet struck the shoulder in the middle and the heart, the animal jumps up and falls. Shock above bullet torn lung and deer, jumping, probyagva some distance and a parade because his lungs are filled with blood and he suffocates. Defeat in the spinal cord paralyzing the animal and it remained in place. Neck shots are deadly, but risky, while those in the head - dangerous to consume the trophies. Hits in the extremities, pelvis and thighs are not dangerous for the animal and it is possible not only to escape but after a while to recover.
The location of the terrain where injured animal must be well remembered and there to put a sign to facilitate further inquiry. If necessary, can be used even specially trained dog looking for a bloody trail.
