British Deer Heads. 
IRISH RED DEER. 
The Irish red deer form a group apart. The typical fully developed Irish 
head is usually more massive than a Scottish head. The tendency of most adult 
Irish heads seems to be to run to fourteen points, rarely making the cup, but 
the cup dividing into two branches, on each of which are two strong points. 
They reach very heavy weights. Irish heads are divided into two classes, as 
those killed at Glenveagh are enclosed deer. The extent of this forest extends, 
however, to over twenty-two thousand acres, and the deer are just as difficult 
to stalk as those living under no such restrictions.
