The Spanish Red Deer, native to the Iberian Peninsula, typically has a lighter coat compared to its European counterparts. Their antlers often exhibit a distinctive shape, with the beams bending more inward.

Yes, the hunting season usually falls in the rutting period, from September to February. However, exact dates can vary, so it's important to check with local regulations.
Stalking during the rut, when stags are less cautious and more vocal, is a popular method. Additionally, driven hunts are organized in certain areas, providing a different challenge for hunters.
Medium to large-caliber rifles, such as .270, .308, or .30-06, are typically used due to the size and toughness of the deer.
The meat of the Spanish Red Deer is tender and flavorful, considered a delicacy in many regions. It's leaner than farm-raised venison, with a distinct gamey taste.
The challenge varies based on the hunting method. Stalking during the rut requires patience and skill to approach the vocal stags, while driven hunts demand quick reflexes.
Trophies are usually evaluated based on the size, thickness, and symmetry of the antlers. A high number of tines and long beams contribute to a desirable trophy.
The terrains can range from rolling hills and open grasslands to thick oak forests, depending on the region within the Iberian Peninsula.
