Interesting facts · Red Deer

During the autumn rut, the bulls' roars carry for kilometres — one of nature's most impressive sounds.

A bull's many-branched antlers with a “crown” are among the most prized hunting trophies.

They live in herds: hinds and calves stay together, while stags join mainly during the rut.

It is the largest true deer in Latvia's forests — there is no separate species simply called “deer” here.

About the data. Source: Huntgate trail camera database (122,359 observations, 222 trail cameras, 2023-04 – 2026-10). Only nationwide aggregates are shown — without precise camera locations or personal data. The numbers are event (photo) counts; weather breakdowns are absolute counts, not rates. Species are labelled by Huntgate users, while images the AI is highly confident about are sorted by the AI; users can re-sort any image. The data may therefore contain errors. Showing the 9 most frequently observed wild species; humans and domestic animals excluded.
