Caught. He lived with a pierced skull

An interesting scheme for the development of prospective and non-prospective roe deer

Found. Very interesting

That looks like a branch from a tree or shrub. Amazing that it can penetrate the skull in that area

Is the branch too decomposed to deduce the type of tree or scrub?

I suppose the wound resulted in an instant kill, ie. no signs of heeling?

It's not a tree branch. this is part of the antler from another doe

WOW

That explains how it managed to penetrate the skull - a lot of force during a fight.

I went to see my buddy in the south earlier this month. In this area, a lot of people don't mind about roe deers because they prefer boar hunting with hounds and they want to keep their pack specialized on a single specie.
It's therefore quite easy to get tags to hunt roe bucks in summertime and my buddy picks up many of them.
I took my good old R8 Success in 6.5 Creedmoor and my Bavarian mountain hound for this little hunting trip. As for ammunitions, I traded my Nosler BT 120 gr for Norma Bondstrike 143 gr. I still use Vihtavuori powder but the last recipe is loaded with the N160.

I stayed 3 days and I shot 6 roe bucks.

The biggest one. I shot it early morning at 180 meters with a quartering toward shot.

Another nice one we called with the Buttolo. Its burrs are welded

An average buck shot at almost 200 meters. It's the only one that ran a bit and Sparrow found it easily not far from the "anschuss". But with a lung shot, it couldn't go far.

A good outing : A very nice buck, a young one (little mistake at dusk, we thought it was bigger) and an almost single antlered buck. He probably broke its antler when it was still in velvet but during a recent fight, he also broke a part of its pedicule. I prepared the euro mount and I still have to glue it.

Perfect trophy!
Congat!!!!!!!!!!!!

Potential new world record trophy from Sweden I estimate it to be around 250 points harvested last Sunday. Huge 1050g weight 30 cm length and brutal expected volume score based on the thickness of the tips (425-450 ccm )

An older photo (3 years ago) .... this was a weekend with 6 friends on an estate in Eastern Germany, that was basically thinning out the weaker roe bucks to reduce forestry damage & promote the better genes. Basically a management hunt.

I would love one of those big Swedish bucks, but I don't see the value in a 5000-8000 Euro trophy fee on a roe deer.

You could do Kazakstan and shoot 2-3 bucks in the 1200-1400 gram range for the same cost.

I really enjoy mountain roe buck hunting in Austria and Slovenia. Not a lot of bucks, but it's interesting hunting.

I got my box back from my Taxidermist a couple of days ago from Slovenia. Just really nice bucks.

I'll get all of them for the year and take a photo.

Czech Bohemia was fantastic, and you get to see a ton of deer. I might go back there in May of 2027. They are pretty bucks even if the weights do not reflect it.

I am trying to do another

What are they eating in that area?

Does supplementary feeding play a role?

Black licorice, dill pickles, salmon and rye bread.

It is a geological substrate with all its existing minerals. They also have good genetics that have been maintained for decades. In most of their hunting grounds (the hunting grounds are commanded by the landowners) modern selection is not done and only the best quality animals are kept, but they still have top trophies
