Much of the time...American Elk are talked about has 6 x 6 or 5x5's..same with Red Stag.

Mule deer are identified the same way...most of the time.

Whitetail are generally refer to as all the points...like that is a 10 point buck.

Just my observations....

Looks like a photo shopped pic that has nothing to do with the critter in the video.

Could be but I would wager a red stag is closely related. The bellow he let out sounds like that of an elk.

Adult male stags are distinguished by the “crown” or “cup” of points at the tops of both beams, whereas bull elk generally grow a “row” of single points off of the main beam.

That is why you should always be armed.

Unless I was carrying a rifle with some serious stopping power, I'd climb the tree. I don't know enough about hunting deer, but my guess is that a few 9mm bullets from a handgun might eventually bring the deer down, but first they'll just make him madder.

I’d whip out a picture of the Hillabeast.

Of course, it is a bit of an overreaction, since it would kill the poor animal who never would have encountered something so repulsive in its life.

I had a mother Border Collie..and one of her grown pups with me once walking in the late spring time thru some timber.

Up jumps a good sized fawn...and my dogs take after it.

Couple seconds later my dogs are screaming back towards me with momma deer right on their heels..!!!! HAHA!!

BTW...they would have never caught the fawn.

I was once raking leaves when a buck came charging out of the woods north of our house at me. Happily he realized I wasn’t what he’d thought I was (another buck pawing around in the leaves?) & turned just a few feet shy of me & bounced down our hill. In the second or two before, I was trying to figure out whether to drop to the ground or try to ward him off with the rake. Neither option probably would’ve worked.

He was one of the biggest bucks we’ve seen around here. Later my husband saw him doing the ‘antler dance’ with another buck. Scary moment!

A 9mm will take down a bambi.

At least 12 or 13 points...not even close to 5 pointer.

In the UK dialing 101 will get you the police, as the person speaking in the video said.

I also don’t think it looks like a deer.

Too thick.

Whatever it is, it’s very pointy. I wouldn’t want it mad at me.

What would I do? Turn around, draw my Glock 19, and put aimed fire between the deer’s eyes. Then, I’d field dress him, take him to the deer processor, then grill some deer burgers. MMmmmmmm...

In my limited experience, that looks like an elk. The neck is too thick to be a deer.
