Admire the pair of 'huge' deer antlers weighing nearly 11kg in Nghe An

Mr. Pham Hong Thai said that his family bought this deer in 2020 for nearly 120 million VND, and it is currently about 6 years old.

Deer raised from 2 years old and up will be harvested for antlers once a year. The weight of the antlers will gradually increase for about 10 years, then level off and gradually decrease. Healthy deer will be harvested for antlers for about 29 years.

Mr. Tran Nhat Trung - one of the owners of the largest antler purchasing warehouses in Nghe An province said: "My family has been raising deer for antlers for decades and I have also purchased antlers in many places, but this is the first time I have witnessed such a large pair of antlers. The average weight of each pair of deer antlers is only 0.5 - 0.6 kg/pair, deer antlers weigh 3 - 4 kg/pair. This pair of antlers can be considered the most beautiful, unique and heaviest pair of antlers in the deer farming village in Nghe An in particular and Vietnam in general in recent years."
