First Muntjac Buck - Possible Medal?

[SPRUCEY]

Well a 4am alarm Sunday morning got me out of bed... On the ground for 5am, just starting to get light. And for once it was dry and a clear sky.
By 7.10am I was elated to have taken my first Muntjac Buck of my stalking career.
Lovely looking specimen, and have been told it could be worth a medal, which would be cherry on the cake!
Thoughts?

Worth getting it measured anyway! Cracking buck!

 

[Keith Edmunds]

You've peaked too soon. Have a quick measure yourself, it's a cracker.

 

[FISH BOY]

Cracking buck - recon it will take you a fair while to better it.

Beautiful and very jealous

Well worth getting it measured.
Look on CicUKTEB for base line measurement.

That’s a medal all day long. As above find your local Cic assessor and drop it off to them. Let us know how it goes.

Easy enough to measure it yourself to have an ideea.

I measured one before i took it to an CIC assessor and i was only 1 point off.

Cracking buck btw !

Cracking Buck! Definitely worth checking it

 

[SPRUCEY]

Thank you all, David from CIC has been in touch too, soon as it's cleaned i'll go get it measured and report back

That should make a medal. Never easy from photos, but going by past Munties I have taken I would guess Silver, maybe gold.

Congratulations!

Absolute beauty. Well done.

Can send you a measuring guide if you want to measure it yourself? It’s not difficult to get a reasonably accurate score with munties. Be careful with it though. Looks like it was about to cast.

Well.... the unthinkable has happened, hung it up to let nature take it's course under the advise of the gamekeeper and it's gone missing!! I may add I have 100% trust in the gamekeeper, so it's very odd it's gone missing.
Gutted is an understatement.

should of boiled it out, then jet wash- would of been done in 2 hours.

Fox or badger, i would guess, squirrels will chew the antlers. Rubbish out come

Can't understand why people don't just do this. Oh well, good excuse to go shoot another.
