A measured point
<strong>Q) I recently shot a roebuck just south of Aberdeen that was in excellent condition in every respect. However, the head is a mass of points, but there is no pedicle damage. I took it to the Game Fair at Scone and was advised by the CIC trophy measurers that it might make a medal of some sort, not that this eally matters to me. What do you think is the cause of the many points and would it be worth having it measured? K. SMART By email</strong>
