Size comparison with Schleich & Papo Stag
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Although Hunter Dan's deer is too large compare to Schleich & Papo. But it is more slender especially the legs.

Hope you like them !!! :)

Oh thank you. I see a lot of deer species- i need them!!!!!!!!! But really big.

They are just marvellous
The antlers of the beatty- and lovstuen bucks are fabulous, SO impressive figueres.

And the mule dear with velvet on the antlers, - we call it "bast" in Danish, the stuff they antlers wear while they grow. What a brilliant and unusual detail !

Those deer are incredibly wonderful, and the pictures great and informative, 1000 thankyou for sharing

Do you know how many different deers they produced?

There's a mountain elk

Yes, I also had it. But it's very big like giant deer.

So I didn't post its together with others.

I like these deer very much, but it disgusts me that someone created a line of beautiful animals just for the purpose of teaching children that killing is a game.

If someone must hunt to feed their family, then it must be, but then treat it like the serious business it is, not a game for fun and certainly not some measure of your prowess.

I see photos of people in camoflage, with high powered rifles with sights, and they look all happy and so proud of themselves, and i think, what are you proud of-- killing a defenseless herbivore with 21st century warfare without even getting close enough to risk any injury yourself. Cowards.
Let's see one of those tough guys take on a bull moose up close and without all their army gear.
And don't get me started on people who shoot animals from helicopters and think it's sport.

makes me sick.

I couldn`t agree more, Carolynn

Fortunately hunting from cars - or helicopters is strictly forbidden here.
What are they thinking about
They should stick to computer games, - and if they need exersize they can go out and help some old people with their house and gardens and shopping !!!!!!

Of course hunting is neccesary in a country like Denmark. The deer don`t have any natural enimies, and there can be so many that they stress and die from ilness, - or starve.
I know hunters who know each and every animal in their land, and who most of the time only go "hunting" to enjoy the sight of them. At the right time of the year they plan carefully which animals are "surplus" and THEN they go hunting.

Last year a guy almost got lynched here, because he shot the leading hind in a flock. One of the other hunters almost had tears in his eyes when he told me how the other hinds and kids were totally confused when their matron fell.
They would have been easy targets then, but nobody shot at them, of course.

Lets go- hunter Andreas. Catch the deers.

I really love these models, they are great in sculpt. :)
But i must agree for the full 100% on hunting for so called sport, it hurts me deep inside!
You don't want to know which kind of discussions i had with some guys which did put their hunting sessions on youtube, who hunted down animals in Africa not only with guns, but with very high powered bows to, as if this is more brave or what...
They dared to compare it with killing cows, pigs and fowl, which we breed for food...
This says something about the intelligence of these guys...
I hate them, and i hope i never get to see these actions before my eyes, or the hunt will go in another direction, i swear!
I know that it is allowed to kill some wildlife to regulate some animal populations. But weren't we the species that took over their enviroment, were they regulated themselfs before, like everything in nature does normally???

Oh yes, you are right. Any forester are important and have a big charge. But any rich hunter and high sea angler is this a cool job- brutal.
You know our first wolves in germany- in the first time any hunter says they must shot.

P.S. ...And I don,t like "hunters" (animal-killers) too!

Those are ALSo gorgeous, wow

If only we did not have that etc import tax here

But I can enjoy the pictures
Thanks, Sergey

This brand also has the elk and black bear that Sergey showed. They also make a wild turkey and two different black labs. They are easy to get in the USA.

I am personally not a hunter, but we have a very similar problem as stated in Denmark. I live in a state just larger than the country of Greece. We have over 1.5 million white tailed deer. You can drive within 10 km of my house at dusk or dawn and see well over 200 deer. Having twins and triplets is more common than a single fawn. If you drive the major east west expressway in my state you will easily see 30 to 40 dead deer from car accidents. We have to have a large deer hunting season because of the large number of deer. There are no predators left in the southern half of my state. We have wolves in the northern part where the deer population is under control.

For anyone who is interested the black bear, elk, turkey, mule deer, and white tailed deer they are available at cabellas and gander mountain stores in the USA. If someone outside of USA wants to know current prices I can let them know and would be able to get them for you. I can also let you shipping cost. PM me if you are interested.

does the import tax apply to gifts? say if it were sent to you wrapped in 'happy birthday' paper?

Oooohh, we have fantastic law about that...
We don't pay import taxes if the merchandise is sent by a person (or a company) and if it's not worth more than 25E. If it's sent by a person (NOT by a company), and if it's stated that it's a gift, the package can be worth up to 45E. The silly thing is - those figures are with shipping included, so - if a package is from the United States and shipping is 20E, the goods itself can't be over 5E if I want to dodge the customs

The law in Denmark is similar to the one in Serbia as to gifts. I am not sure, but the limit for gifts is app 80 dollars, - included postage too

But there is no lower limit when it is a purchase. You have to pay 25% VAT ( incl postage again), 15 % import duty, an a fixed amount of 150 DKK for "handling" (app 30 $)

So in principle, if I buy something for 30 dollar, 10 dollar shipping, they charge 10 $ VAT, 7,50 import duty and 30 $ "handling".

Total 87,50 $ for 30 $ worth of goods

I have often wondered why they bother to open and control a relatively cheap box of plastic toys.
But ok, if it takes them 10 minutes and they earn over 40 $, it is a reasonable earning per hour

But Carolynn is right, a Happy Birthday present of reasonable value is ok

In germany the duty controlled all letters and packages. Under 25 Euro you can send without problems. If you have luck, for more. So if you send 1 or 2 expensive animals, the members of the duty dont know the price. But if you become a package with any animals (also under the price of 25Euro), you must have a bill and than you pay a lot of money (19% of the price) again.

But i dont know if the reglement if you become a gift over 25 Euro.

This "problem" could be easily solved by sending the original bill by normal letter-post, and inside the package a "fake" bill under the limit of the amount in that particular country, i am pretty sure the seller will do that, he wants to make business...
