Roe Heads....medals

[Deker 3,478]

I am not a trophy hunter and generally don't get many like this boy anyway.

 

As a matter of interest does anyone know about BASC/BDS/etc measuring service, what sort of money are we talking and do you think this may make it at all.

I would say that it was a medal head,and it has hellish long front tines,as for the cost of having them scored you better ask Yokel Matt our local Medal hunter.

Think it's £40 quid then you have to pay more for the actual medal, that was 3 or 4 years ago. you can get them done at most gamefairs or send them off to a cic judge, check their website for a list. http://www.cictrophy.com/

The person to contact is Tony Dolby Welsh CIC measure. His number is on the web site. What you will need to do is skin it and boil it clean. In my opinion leave it as a full scull minus the bottom Jaw. Leave it for 90 days and then weigh it if it is over about 450 grams it is worth getting done as already said if it don't make the grade you don't pay. To get it measured i am sure is £20 then you will have the medal to buy if you want it.

May i say it is a really good trophy no mater what it makes.

'Trophy Hunter' at you service I'd chuck it Deker... I've made sticks out of bigger ones than that Only kidding - he's a cracker - That head certainly looks to tick all the box's for a good medal in terms of established coronets, colour, pearling, uniformity and some exceptional fecking front tines Wouldn't be suprised if he'd killed rutting with those. Hopefully you've cleaned it as a full skull and not nose cut it or anything silly like that just yet - I'd say you were at the very least a high silver with that one but let us know the weight. I wouldn't bother with the BASC as it's not a recognised measuring system. Tony D-W of the CIC is a good bloke and only down the road from me - cost here is 30 for the certificate and medal.

 

How did you take him? high-seat, stalk, called? The picture alone doesn't quite do him justice
