Deer Hunted remembers an older Ireland and the creatures that once roamed the ancient landscape. The irish Elk dissapeared with the end of the last ice age, 12.500 years ago. This discovery pays homage to those earlier creatures, larger and lost. It carries the ghost of the giant deer. A creature hunted by time and the weather.
