thats where ive found most of them. They are most heavily concentrated by the feild that butts the bridge, but alot of Roe's spwan there. Is there any certian way to hunt like sit and call or track down

The whole area west and south of Rittersteinhutte holds good numbers of Red Deer (southeastern part too). For many spawn mashers tower 1 is the go-to place. For me a heavy red deer is usually an indication of a high scoring animal - not always. I hate sitting in towers / blinds / stands the whole day so I'll walk a pre-determined path to cover as much of that area as I can (this includes a couple of minutes in stands and towers that I have in that area), then if I find decent tracks I will just track the animal down (B&C clothing brings them right up to you and then nail them with a bow like the snakebite or recurve as not to spook others in the vicinity). Some people don't believe in blind calling but I blind call for a few animals in the game. Red deer is one of them. Just blow the horn every now and then and see if you get a reply. Be alert for animals that turn back on their tracks.

That's about all the I can share. Work out your own strategy and learn from your mistakes.

Good luck!

I got a 188.517 Red Deer Buck using this thx. (BTW is this a good score)

[Commanche]

220 is a good score (somewhere on the Wiki they'll have the trophy size). 260 plus and you might have a comp winner. But as many on here have said, each animal might mean something special to you i.e. first kill with particular weapon, rare, long stalk, you own personal best etc. etc.

Here's the current leaderboard to marvel at some beasts:
