[EN] Given that the introduction of allochthonous deer breeds in Spanish farms and hunting estates is becoming increasingly common, it is urgent to describe the morphology of Iberian red deer (Cervus elaphus hispanicus) antlers. We use over 2,000 cast antlers collected in Sierra Morena (southern Spain) to provide reference values for beam and first (brow) tine length, beam and burr circumference, and antler weight, depending on the number of antler points. In addition, this study includes a mean gross score of the trophy calculated according to the official formulae, as well as its correlation with the antler variables considered in this study. Beam length is the single most important factor for high score trophies, while factors such as antler weight or the number of antler points contribute little to the gross score. Management implications of these data are discussed.
[DE] Da die EinbÜrgerung von allochthonen Rotwildunterarten in spanischen Jagdrevieren immer Üblicher wird, ist es wichtig die Morphologie des Geweihes bei der Iberischen Unterart (Cervus elaphus hispanicus) zu beschreiben. In der vorliegenden Studie werden Über 2000 Abwurfstangen aus der Sierra Morena (SÜdspanien) beschrieben. FÜr jede Endenzahl werden Referenzdaten Über Stangenlänge, Augsprossenlänge, Stangenumfang zwischen Aug- und Mittelsprosse, Rosenumfang und Gewicht angegeben. Weiterhin wird untersucht, wie diese Faktoren die offizielle Bewertung beeinflussen. Die Stangenlänge ist der wichtigste Fakor fÜr hochwertige Trophäen. Gewicht oder Endenzahl haben dagegen einen relativ geringen Einfluss. Die Management-Konsequenzen dieser Ergebnisse werden diskutiert.
