the £6000 roe buck

[robsharpe 1]

am in the process of applying for a variation for a 243 for fox and deer on my firearms certificate ,the shoot i am in has some good ground so i see it a logical move anyway i digress back to the title, i was reading in shooting times a deer manager in the south of scotland has viewed a white roe buck on his land and has put a price tag on the trophy of £6000 , this had me thinking would you pay that,could you justify it , i suppose it is a one off or there will be very few around, i think it may go to an overseas gun , your thoughts cheers rob

barry i could not give flying f what the antis think , that was not he question , its from a sporting point of view

[paddy.t 5]

I know i couldn't justify spending 6k on a trophy being it white pink or all the colours of the rainbow.

Its just another way for landowners to cash in i suppose, and some plank with more money than sense will pay it and he won't be the last.

i dont realy like trophy stalking to be honest i would much rather it be left alone to spred its seed while its still a good beast ( thats if its not old and buggard all ready) then cull it as i would any normal buck.. so thats a no from me i wouldent pay that

yep i agree, i dont know about genetics but surely if the beast was to breed there would be a chance of more of them being about. but 6 grand for a deer it would have to be solid gold not white.

It's likely to be a 50/50 chance depending on the genes being recessive or dominant.

6k to shoot a white deer .i dont think it would be my 6k i.d rather leave it and stalk a norm deer and get more joy but if you are a trophy hunter then thats your game and you can afford it . so be it

[2434me 13]

Now that it is advertised. He better get someone to shoot it quick!!

 

Every poacher in the area and beyond knows where it is now !!

 

 

I would have made a few phonecalls ,Got it on the wall ,then let everyone else know .

 

Same as big cats ! , Tell people you have one and every crank with a camera and a safari suit starts walking all over your ground pretending to be some kind of expert !

 

Keep quiet , get the job done , sorted !.

ive heard of quite a few white deer bein sein, i saw a heard of fallow at the side of a main road there was about 8 i think 2 of which was white,

 

 

White fallow are pretty common in the UK, Roe on the other hand are quite rare. AFAIK this buck is only a spiker and I would suggest the 'trophy' is in its pelt

 

On a deer farm not 3 miles from me they have two white red hinds

Its certainly a fine line aint it, not my cup of tea, but if i had one and someone offered 6k to stalk it i for one wouldnt say no... if they want to add to the 2 billion that shooting brings into our economy then who are we to say its wrong
