Stag (4)

I think it could be either:

deer

hart

'stag' is the definition.
(both can mean a male deer)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for hart that I've seen before include "Male red-deer" , "Songwriting partnership, Rodgers and --" , "Richard Rodgers and Lorenz . . . . were famous musical partnership" , "Adult male red deer" , "Stag" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Mirror, the Penny Press, The Sun and The Star Tribune.
