He’s a big old boy……..

Extraction must have been fun ( unless you cheated and used the quad )

I don't know but it's gonna look very good on the wall. With the right fixings, of course!

Well done

score doesnt matter mate, its the memory and story that counts.
that deer had seen alot and you took him well done.
next you need to buy a house you can shoulder mount him in!

Don’t waste your money all for a piece of paper and a cheap tin medal!

Memories mean much more

 

[brandon]

Lovely deer! Curious to find out what he scores? Absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to know the score and be proud of shooting a massive stag! I don't know how to judge them accurately so cannot put a guess in.
Well done

Has a lot of weight throughout the main beam, looks quite tall, brow, bez, trez tines all look nice and long so I suspect a solid medal head. An utter guess unless you see in the flesh obviously, but East Anglia well known of heavy medal heads. I believe red medals start at over 90cm main beam and 6kg weight-rough figures obviously.

Your well short on the weight, the biggest is shot 10kg skull cut through the eye sockets. The above stag is probably a 12-15kg head roughly.

Massive deer. Congratulations on the memories.
One day I’d love a stag like this
If you get it mounted make sure to post as I’d love to see it

I’ve been doing it a long time I’m well versed on what makes a medal head!

That’s the skull not the whole head!

Plus who cares it’s just a bit of coloured tin nothing more nothing less.

I’m not quite understanding this.

I parroted the statement from C.I.C.

There are various deductions for various skull cuts, 0.70kg for full skull-based off the weights. Several big medal heads weigh less than 6kg (from their records).

I assume they know their onions.

Go shoot a big stag boil it out and then let it dry then weigh it!

If you can’t get your hand around the coronet’s and the main beams are thicker than your wrist then you know it’s worth measuring any smaller than that waste of time!

my days of chasing medals has been gone 10 years or more, means nothing really but another dead deer

This lad scored 188.89! Less than two points under silver. Awesome beast that will be going up on the wall as soon as the shield comes in.

Mind asking what the beam lengths and thickness are ? They look girthy from that photo but perspective may be thrown off

A fine animal congrats

It takes a lot for a stag too weigh over 10 kilos even with a skull deduction, as expected It weighted in at a bit above 6 kilos.

I would be very surprised if there's many true-wild English stags that weigh over 10 kilos, let alone 12-15....
