From Wikipedia:

"The label on Jägermeister bottles features a glowing Christian cross seen between the antlers of a stag.  This image is a reference to the two Christian patron stints of hunters, St. Hubertus ands St. Eustace, both of whom converted to Christianity after experiencing a vision in which they saw a Christian cross between the antlers of a stag."
