'Flat' antlered Muntjac

[HonestJohn]

Had a few over the years, of all sizes.

I find them a lot more interesting than the regular heads.

Nice work, watch out for not being caught out with a ‘push dagger’ by airport security. Been there with a roe antler key ring. Unbelievable.

Morning Gen'lmen,

Thank you for all the comments.
It will be cleaned, then meausured after the prescribed 'drying-out period'.
If it achieves medal recognition it will be 'Plaqued' - the first Muntjac in my time - alongside my Roe oddities in the Man-Cave!

Gen'lmen,

I am now able to 'post the results' of my 'mature' Muntjac Buck - it scored 69 points, which I understand is a Gold Medallion.

Thanking all for the encouragement to consider a measure.

Any chance of seeing some photos now it's been cleaned please.

I took this Buck some years back now. I’ve never shot another like it. Still manage the area it was culled in. Made gold and is proudly displayed on the wall. Taxidermist said it had some considerable age.

All the best NAA Team

Hi All

As Terrier1 has requested, I shall get the 'mugshots' done and post thereafter.
Hopefully lower jaw is also near to hand in Man-Clutter' to demonstrate age.

Thank you very much always looks bigger when they have been cleaned. I have shot a few malformed muntjac and at some point I will post them.

That is a truly remarkable head.

Many thanks aslo for posting the photos, as this thread has just reiterated how interesting and variable muntjac can be.
