This is Argentina's record red stag. With stag being one of my favorite animals I don't get to hunt, I've done some research over the years. Many people confuse stag with elk but it's easy for me to tell the difference by looking at their body, head or rack. One difference I have no experience with is their bugle. The Red Deer "roar" sounds more like a domestic bovine while the Elk emits a shrill bugle while in the rut (mating season). The antlers of the red deer are similar but definitely different from the North American Elk in that Red Deer antlers form a "crown" at the top while Elk antlers form in a row.
