Re: Last evening...

iqbal:
Unless the names have changed in recent times, the Roe Deer is Capreolus capreolus whereas the Hog Deer is Axis porcinus.

This according to Arthur Bentley's text....

....so not even the same genus. I agree their head-gear looks remarkably similar though!


BTW, I meant to post earlier: that's a very nice head for a Roebuck from what I've seen, Andre. Add my congratulations to the list. I like the skull-cap mount so popular in Europe, it accentuates the antlers more than a shoulder-mount IMO. In Australia, we call that the 'European Mount'!
