A group with their deer catch

The 2016 edition of the annualÂ Aboakyer Festival of the Efutu people came to a close peacefully on Sunday.

TheÂ AboakyerÂ is a deer hunting festival in which groups of youth roam the forests of the Winneba area for a live deer.

The group that presents the first live deer wins the contest and that live deer is sacrificed to appeaseÂ Pankye Otu, the god of the Efutu (Winneba) people.

Below are some of the photos of the 2016 Aboakyer Festival:
