Cheers Jon http://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/trop...er&size=big The Lab in the picture on the link seems to want to get in on the act with the teeth as well but the CWD puts him to shame Looks like this could be a gold medal, would like to know how how CWD are scored/measured. Do any of you know PELTMAN :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonic Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Apparently by doing the below. Cheers Jon On the Chinese Water Deer, two measurements are taken on each of the two upper tusks to comprise the total score. While is is advantageous to remove the tusks from the jawbone or skull prior to measuring, it is not required. The tusks may be measured without being removed and the length measurements doubled to get the length of the tusks. The circumference measurements are not doubled but are entered as measured at the gum line. No drying period is required. The length of the tusk is measured on its outer curve from a 90 degree angle at the farthest edge of the base to the tip. For example, if the longer jagged end at the base is on the inner curve, use a straight line from the jagged edge to the boundary of the outer curve and measure the length from that point. The measurement is entered in the appropriate boxes for each side. The circumference at base measurement is taken around the tusk just above the jagged edge. As the circumference measurement is taken, take care that the tape remains tight to insure the accuracy of the measurement. Each measurement is entered in the appropriate box for each side. Columns are sub-totaled at the bottom and the two sub-totals are added together for the grand total. Remember to convert the numerals leaving a fraction less than 8/8, check your addition to make sure it is correct, and please be legible. Be sure to include a photograph with the entry.

the pelt man Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Looks like it was shot with a golf ball ! What rifle ammo combo was that and at what range ? Rifle was a Tikka T3 .243 Ammo was Fedral Pre 100 grain The range was at 60 yards, the hole in the side of the Buck in the picture is the exit Just after the Buck was shot on walking up to him a Doe got up from the long grass and made off into the wood. Yonic Thanks for the info, will give it a try. Cheers PELTMAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Fantastic animal, well done. I had a day down in Norfolk for them, I was down there anyway wildfowling and a friend of a friend had alot on his ground down there. I really just asked if I could pop over and have a look to see one as I had not seen one before. Anyway the guy says come down and bring your rifle too. To cut a long story short, saw plenty but never got a shot, still a great day out looking for an unusual animal. You are very lucky to have them on your ground.

catcherpelt Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I hope this is not my 15 minutes. I was hoping for something alot more profitable. Thanks PM for sharing the adventure with PW. Still feeling a little guilty for going out at the last minute without my mentor. Words ringing in my ears " when are you going to shoot the next Deer " . knowing the season for CWD was coming to a end, all I was thinking about that gorgeous Saturday afternoon was to try and get out stalking, passing over my credit card to my dear wife I paid for my stalk which I have always promise to myself I wouldn't do, . I have not taken any measurements as yet but after reading about Bronze, Silver and Gold Trophies I will try and hopefully let you all know but not being very pretentious, it will always be a one of my best stalks and food on the table for a few. Gold Trophy, " to me anyway ". Once again PM for sharing is with everone, drinks on me next time we are out Additional Pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
