A nice Red deer taken just over a week ago. One of the nicest trophies of recent years. The shooter is a very lucky man.
Don't know any more particulars than that it was evening and he used a 7 Rem Mag.

Wow, what a beast. Was his mother a moose!?

Let us know how much those antlers weighed if you find out.

Was this a local hunter and will he have to pay a trophy fee for this monster?

Impressive trophy indeed! Maybe the most "palmated" antlers that I ever saw. Eeker

It was also covered in a local newspaper (with another photo): http://sloleht.ee/index.aspx?id=248551&q=Hiiumaal%20lasti

The shooter said that it was just blind luck. The trophy is estimated to be the third largest of all times (nationally). First and second were hunted in 1986 and 1987 from the same island.

He was a local guy. But I don't know how their club hands out permits (some clubs have auctions for permits for big reds, bear, lynx, wolf and other more desireable animals; in other clubs, like mine, we pay a yearly fee and permits are used in a manner, that all members have a chance for big trophies).

Looking at the picture of the trophy again, I know now what it reminds me of.

"Rominten" in Eastern Prussia was a fabled German hunting area before WWII. Approximate location now is Eastern Poland where it borders on Bellarus and Lithuania - although parts may also be in Russia an Bellarus? I have seen pictures of exceptional red trophies from the German days in Rominten with that palmation and high number of points in the crown. That still puts it a fair way away from Estonia, but the similarity is striking.

A note of history. Rominten, was also the "personal" hunting preserve of Reichjägermeister, Hermann Göring...

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.
5 shots are a group.

And before Herman Göring, Kaiser Wilhelm (WWI) hunted Rominten. It was considered the top-notch area for reds at the time.

The whole island of Hiiumaa, or Dagö in older and german texts, is a little less than 260 000 acres. It's divided into several separate hunting districts.
