DW58 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I shot a eight pointer Roebuck head can anyone tell me how I can add photos to my post from my photos on my I pad to see if this head is worth getting measured thanks To give you an idea, measure the length of the main beams in cm and weight of the head in grams - how is the skull cut? I'll try and help you out. If it's a Moray head they are generally fairly light but it depends very much on where it was shot - Moray always produces some medal heads, but they aren't as common as say Aberdeenshire, Perthshire or Fife for example.

DW58 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 You don't say how the head is cut - 560gms might be heavy enough but 23cm isn't that long. Are we talking quite a bulky looking head. Sounds like you've already tried a home assessment yourself if you've already done the volume as well. Take it with you to Moy if you're going, from personal experience they would usually do an yes/no assessment rather than full measurement to see if it's worth a paid assessment. Best idea - download PhotoBucket for iPad, upload your pix and post here for a better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abolter Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 if you have the pic in photobucket then you wil find a series of links, if you copy and paste the one that starts http into your thread the image should appear. link some thing like this URL=htt://s650.photobucket.com/user/royfishwick/media/Hambleton-20140412-00989.jpg.html][/url I have removed a square bracket from the front and and the p from http so you can see the link and not the pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW58 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 This is the eight-point head in question - George e-mailed the photo to me. [edit - added second image] In my opinion, although the antlers aren't long, they are quite bulky and worthy of assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trucraft Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 He's great cull buck. Looks like he's got a few year on him. Not the prettiest but worth a measure up. Nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeroz Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Never seen one of those before. But then again even I was surprised when about 10 years ago I shot my first old doe with small antlers. A bit like your old granny who has a few whiskers on her chin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiltshire Boy Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 That is definitely worth measuring. Looks like it will medal to me. Whatever the assessment it is a very good/interesting head. Cheers Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
