Cervus hortulorum in Hokkaido grow the horn and body better than the deer in main island of Japan.
A horn greatly shows an expanse in right and left in comparison with a deer of Honshu, because of the extensive forest the horn does not interfere.

A; Our president (Mr. Soma): Tasty.It is fatter than the one living in main island of Japan and the venison at the back will be marbled meat in fall.
A hunter in Hokkaido gave me the venison of Cervus hortulorum. It was very good.
I like it to sashimi the best, but please cook it if you eat.

-Question; How do you get the horn?
A; Our president (Mr. Soma):　The stag sheds his horns in every spring. The horns will be regrown before breading season in fall to battle other stags.
We go horns-hunting to pick up the fallen ones in the forest. For your reference, the stag only have horns.
