Those Moritzburg trophies were actually bred in a park - as in farmed. The heads in pubs around Saxony were quite ordinary just like a good bush stag shot here. The heads at the hunting castles are quite different. Those deer were selectively bred in the 'Park' and when there was to be a 'Hunt' deer and Boars would be run into a smaller enclosure of about 3 hectares and whilst the 'gentle crowd' watched, cheered and applauded from the bleachers, gallant gents would step forward and shoot with crossbow or with spear and lance battle a cornered animal.
At the end of the days entertainment the guests would retire to the castle for feasting, drinking, dancing and rooting, judging from the muraled walls.
