INSTRUCTIONS FOR TAKING MEASUREMENTS
1. Antler length
Measured along the outer curvature, from the lower outer edge of the rosette to the end of the highest point. The measuring tape will be pressed against the antler at 2-3 cm. of the rosette. Abnormal rosette protuberances are not considered for length.
2.Weight of the antlers
They are weighed in grams, with an appreciation up to 1 gr. The horns and skull free of all foreign matter. Complete and without the lower jaw, 90 grams will be deducted of the total weight.
– With the skull sawed so that the upper teeth are missing, 65 grams will be deducted of the total weight.
– With the skull sawed, presenting only the front, nothing will be deducted from the total weight.
– With the skull sawed so that it has the pivots and very little more bone, 10 to 20 grams will be added of total weight.
3. Antler volume
It is measured in cubic centimeters by immersion in water from the antlers up to and including the rosettes. The skull and pivots do not submerge. The hydrostatic balance can be used to determine the weight and volume of the antlers. First the trophy is weighed, and then it is immersed in water and the volume is known by the difference in weight. 1 gram = 1 cm3.
