COMPARASION OF ROE DEER TROPHIES BY CIC SYSTEM VALUATION AND BY TROPHY MASS MEASURMENT

For the research purposes, trophy papers of 192 roe deer hunted in hunting ground "Nova Crnja" were used in 2009. and 2010. year. A comparison of the correlation trophy mass and CIC trophy value was carried out, as well as a comparison of the mass correlation and the trophies volume and a comparison of these two variables with an average length of the antlers and an aesthetic values of the elements in order to determine whether the weight of antlers is good indicator of the value of the trophy. Where it was possible, a comparison of the commercial value of the trophy under the old and new system was carried out, to determine whether the same trophy costs the same in both systems, or which system is economically advantageous for the hunter and which for the user of the hunting ground. The results showed that the mass of trophies in most cases is a good indicator of the value of the trophy in CIC points, and that during hunting focus should be on assessing the volume of antlers, since between volume and other indicators of the value of antlers there are stronger and more pronounced correlation than between the mass and these indicators.
