Hi Hirsch !!!

I know that Hirsch is the MALE deer. So in my opinion the most precise meaning is 'stag' XD

Hart is the English equivalent (Germanic t to ts/tsh to z/sch in High German). Stag is applied also to species other than deer, and hirsch also refers to deer of which the males are called bucks, not stags, in English.
