Well guys, I saw this thread and decided to look into it. There are actually many game preserves which have loads of red stag. There is actually one in eastern Penn. which is almost 3000 acres, which is where the movie was shot at. But the deer u see are not wild they were like pets, you know the ones people can feed and walk right up to and pet. They used food and other treats and toys do get them to be in the right places. Oh and the deer were originally on that preserve they were in fact the owners "pets" they kept in different closed up spots.
