Abstract
The aim of the study was to examine individual quality of roe deer hunted in Poland in 1876–2005 and check the impact of the antlers height, their weight and volume on the final valuation. In the study data on the antlers of roe deer summarized in the “Catalogue of hunting trophies 2005” (Dziedzic, 2005) were used. In total of the registry there were 1,152 trophies with gold medal that ranged from 130–226.68 points CIC. The individual quality of roe deer in Poland is very high, and the amount of gold antlers bucks was increasing steadily up to 2005. Only in the last five years of the period ie. in 1999–2005 the number of trophies was 47. Weight and volume had the biggest impact on the total number of points in the measurement of the medal antlers. On average it accounted for respectively 34.7% and 47.3% of their total points.
