Roe Buck

[.Joe 0]

I recently had to dispatch the largest Roe buck in the 20+ that are on my permission. He'd been hit by a car a while back and is a shame as he looked to have been a sizeable buck in his day. Antlers measure 28.2cm and 19cm at the widest point. Symetrical 6 pointer. Im not up on deer heads but he certainly looks the part.

That's a massive head and a 28 + cm head is trophy of a life time for most to put it in perspective for you .My gold is 25.8 cm and my silver is 23.5cm. Get it done and sell it on ebay if it don't have much hold on you a silver of mine fetched 200 pounds a few years back.

Looks like i will have to mount it and sell then! It doesnt have too much of a hold on me as it was only a dispatch.

My permission that this was on, has a decent amount of Roe on it, but due to the land being a flood plain and being able to see from one side clearly across all 500+ acres has meant that it hasnt been shot, and the local FAO wont even consider it certified for a rimmy as it is all split up by main roads. A real shame to be honest.

Tragic that what an animal - hopefully he'll have had a good season and passed his excellent genes onto the next generation.

Joe flat ground is a problem and certainly needs a bit of though but a few well placed high seat will put you at a perfect angle to shoot a beast and keep the cops happy. Even if your ground is split in half 250 acres is plenty of ground to have a centre fire on. Just do a risk assessment and tell them you want clearance on it they cant refuse.

Joe,that is a hell of a head mate,well worth cleaning off.By the way the smallest piece of ground I have permission for a centrefire on(.204cal & .243cal)is about 20acres,so,as has been suggested mate,get the highseats up and get stuck into them Roe..............Martin.
