Red Deer Terminology » Outdoors International

Stag- Male Red Deer
Hind- Female Red Deer
Calf/Fawn- young Red Deer
‘Roar’- Dominate call of a stag, also used to refer to the rut/breeding season
SCI- Safari Club International
SCI Score- The SCI measuring system, used by most International outfitters and the basis for ‘medal’ scoring. The medal system is a moving scale based on averages in the record book, so what was a ‘gold medal’ 10 years ago, may only be a ‘silver medal’ now. SCI has both free range and ‘estate’ record books. SCI does not include an outside spread measurement, but Douglas Score does, there is also no ‘non-typical’ score for Red Stag (which is rather odd).
Douglas Score- The South Pacific scoring system, used only for free range animals and based heavily on symmetry.
Royal- A 6×6 or 12 point stag is often referred to as a royal.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that OUTDOORS INTERNATIONAL hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Second time I’ve done this particular trip.

The steelhead run was awesome! The food was even better than the first time, which is hard to imagine, and our guide is the best there is! If catching big fish is your thing I highly recommend booking through Outdoors International.
