ROE DEER. 
(CAPREOLUS CAPREA.) 
SCOTTISH, IRISH AND ENGLISH. 
The roe deer (Capreolus caprea) seldom has justice done to him. Stalked 
with a rifle, he is capable of providing first-class sport, while a really good roe 
head is a much greater rarity than a good stag's head. Length, symmetry, 
roughness, with well-developed points, go to the making of a first-class trophy. 
The Lissadell head is the most remarkable, and no such massive head has ever 
been secured in the British Isles of which any trace is found.
