Abstract

The aim of this paper was to investigate and compare the value of morpho-metric parameters of antlers and the total score of 1175 roe deer trophies from nine hunting ground on the territory of the Republic of Serbia. The largest average length of the antlers was recorded in the hunting ground "Takovo" and it is 27.7 cm. We notice that the largest mass of antlers was measured in the hunting ground "Barajevska reka", which is 572 g. The smallest volume of antlers in roe deer was measured in the hunting ground "Krilaš" which is 15 cm³, then the hunting ground "Gučevo" where recorded volume of antlers was 18 cm³. The highest average value of the range of antlers of 12.62 cm is found in roe deer shot in the hunting ground "Mojsinjske planine" with the maximum recorded range of antlers of 19 cm and the minimum of 6.9 cm. Roe deer shot in the hunting ground "Takovo" had the lowest average grade of the trophy, only 62.23 CIC points.
