Is this 6 point buck worthy of getting it cic medal checked

Hi I’ve just shot my first roe buck this morning, do people think it’s Worthing sending it off after I’ve prepped it and let it dry for 30 days?

Many thanks

Photo?

First buck? I think we need a write-up, too

Congratulations, by the way. Looking forward to the photo

Congratulations on your first! Pop a picture up I’m sure you’ll get an opinion if it’s worthy of a medal.

Regardless if it is or is not, it should be going on the wall!

If you have a photo of the head, and the weight (before cutting), then an estimation as to score is certainly possible.

Being the first head, you will want to keep it regardless.

Mm I have shot lots of bucks over the years and never shot a medal I had an 8 pointer the other day and I thought maybe bronze but I think along with weight the beam must be 26cm and mine was 25ish….. the search continues nice head though one of the few roe I’ve kept. Well done on your first and good luck if it’s a medal there are very few up here but someplaces have quite a lot

There are plenty of roe that medal without being 25-26cm in length. As you alluded to, weight and volume are the biggest factors.

And don’t cut the skull - keep it full skull until you’ve had it measured.

This old boy is only 23cm but will likely make gold due to weight and volume. He’ll be around 600g dry.

Ohh thanks for that I’ll stick it on the scales might just make bronze?

I've a gold that scored 167+ points and it's well shorter than 25cm.The difference from 25cm to 26cm in actual scoring is only 0.5 of a point so has very little impact in the actual scoring.

Yeah I think mine only weights in at 550grams or something I’ll need to check

If it weighs 550 dry it will be borderline silver/gold. It’s certainly worth a measure!!!!! Good luck!!!

I thought you deducted 90g for a full skull?? I dunno

 

[gaza916]

Yes you do deduct 90g for a full skull but the CIC general threshold for gold is 570g full skull.

What’s the bronze threshold?
And thanks

Somewhere around 380 grams if I remember correctly.

550g dry,and full skull should have you around 125 but obviously good/poor volume can swing that either way.

 

[Utectok]

I’ll get the scales out again and let you know

Somewhere around 380 grams if I remember correctly.

I was told 450g to be in the medals depending on volume etc (that was Chris Rogers CIC scorer who told me that)
