UNITED KINGDOM: Roebuck Hunt

[Donnachaidh]

A 6 point roebuck I stalked and shot last night. This is a better than average head for the area; the other bucks I've taken this year have either been young or well past their prime. It was also my first successful stalk with my young Labrador.

Really nice! Where in England are you hunting?

 

[Donnachaidh]

Thanks; Dorset in the south west.

These are really nice roe bucks. I’m American, but I get more excited about roe bucks than any other animal. Just a lot of fun to hunt and a neat trophy.

I’ve not yet had a chance to hunt Roe buck. How is the flavor of the meat? About how many pounds of meat come off of one?

The meat I ate in Poland I thought was excellent, not gamey like whitetail deer, but I didn’t think it was as good as elk.

Hi tra3 the weight of a mature buck dressed out is approximately
18 to 20kg very good eating
