Species profile

What it is

Knotstag are stocky forest grazers whose antlers grow in dense interlocking forks. The structures are used to rake vine mats, expose mineral soil, and wrestle rivals without the long piercing tines typical of open-country deer.

Field observation

What Keepers notice

Their repeated antler-raking creates bare-soil patches used by rare understory plants. Trophy demand focuses on mature crowns, placing disproportionate pressure on older breeding males.
