I should have asked him in the first place.

Nope people, you're wrong. Check out Bruce Banwell's book & you'll see that Rusa have rounded ears & those ones are quite pointee, like a red's.
Possibly, as mentioned before, a red/rusa hybrid. That's my 2 cents worth ( & I really don't know shit from clay!!!)

The ears on a few of our deer allow us to confirm their identity.
