Went out this morning and it was a mission i was after the large buck that had eluded me for a month now and i had hatch a plan i would go half an hour before light and sit and wait.As the light came i could see a doe not far off and was sure the big old fella would show.Then suddenly out of the gloom came a sickening sound a large buck barking at me from down wind .I turned my head real slow and sure enough there he was running at about 150 meters away parallel to me and barking.I sat were i was and decided to wait it out .After about 30 more minute i saw the large buck walking in my directio

I am not an expert but htre is a lot to measuring a red head and weight is just a small factor were as in roe its a large factor whats not to understand. ROE BUCK Red Deer You cac see from the charts that red get measured in a totally difernt way there is not volume which makes up the most points in a roe.
-
[ Tommy your miles out mate roe deer while lenght and looks count for some of the trophy 75 % are on weight and mass. Red deer while weight counts for a good few points and there is no mass measurement it only counts for less than twenty percet of the points system so there for a good middle aged red will get more points that a head going back the way. Roe deer it matters not what the head looks like to an extent but the weight must be there and that comes with age.. Measured by the CIC and dont know any other way of measuring apartfor the BASC,S OWN SYSTEM AND THAT JUST A CON.
-
[ Tommy you are now talking of genetic freaks were they are fed and kept in enclosures till they grow big. But when the cic measure a roe head here it is a bout the weight when its red its is more about the size . That deer in your picture was the reason lots of people are against trophy hunting it has nothing to do with our wild deer in Britain and can only be described as Canned.
-
Tommy while roe deer have very heavy heads later in life and most of the points awarded by the CIC are for weight and mass. WERE AS Red deer get more points for size and the number of points on the skull and only a very small portion are given for weight.So there for the trophy hunter wanting a roe medal will wait till he is well by his best(going back= More weight ) While a red deer trophy hunter will take his trophy when the animal is at its physical peek (at his best ). Hope that made some kind of sense.
-
Most of the real quality roe heads will be older animals there for it is easier to keep your best middle age beast and still take a crop of medal heads . With reds it is differnt.
-
First of all only the white skull was repaird the rest are natural and were possible i leave them that way.THE SKULLS WILL GET BLEACHED AND THEY WILL BE FINE I MY SELF DONT US POTTASIUM I USE MY OWN MADE DIE,

May i add before you do it get some petroleum jell and just cover the last inch of the antler with it so that the stain dose not go on the tips once done just wipe off.

Riohog i was looking a for a long winded answer mate i want to know what others do to see if i cant incorporate it into what i do.

All kidding aside when i am out at the moment i feel like a poacher looking over my shoulder all the time its like days gone by .But it works we have taken near 40 deer off 300 acres and as to date we have only had one phone call to the police that was some one asking then to investigate multiple loud bangs at the back of here house. No one as see any dead deer apart from the ones that are meant to and we now only shoot one deer and leave so we dont have to may shots going off. I dont know if you can see it in the picture as i was 250 mtrs away but hat is a medal class buck in the bushes a
-
J Darcy i though of using the poachers approach you know in out while no ones about what the eye doesn't see heart don't grieve and all than .I was hoping you could give me a few pointers on the subject of remaining incognito
