Is this sika worth getting scored?

[wokingrob]

This is my first ever sika stag, do you think it’s worth getting scored?

That's a beauty well done

gotta be worth a measure, lovely stag

Yes, as a rough guide you need around 49Cms in width and length and good symmetry to make medal class.
That one looks very good. Congratulations.

Is that at the widest point?
It’s pretty symmetrical

Thank you

Yeah I’m going to, it’s just getting cleaned

It’s pretty symmetrical

Thank you

Widest point, I don’t remember if thats just the main beam or total spread.
The CIC formula for Sika is easy to follow, you can easily rough score it yourself. Symmetry is important because any difference between the 2 antler scores is subtracted from the total.

Thank you I will take a look

Use a thin steel tape or a piece of string.
Best of luck!

As said, length and symmetry seem to be the key. The one I posted on here a few days ago just dipped silver (on deductions) and was circa 51 and 52cm and pretty symmetrical. Yours looks medalworthy. What a first!!!!

I’d have it measured, great first stag

49cm in width would be highly unusual. Anything between 30-40cm is more normal and well within medal class norms.

That is a very nice stag.

And a really good cleaning job!
