(Capreolus pygargus)

The Siberian roe deer is a subspecies of the Asian roe deer and not, as is often assumed, of the European roe deer. However, the Siberian roe deer bears a strong resemblance in appearance and behavior to the native roe deer. Overall, the "Siberian" is significantly larger. These giants among roe deer can reach live weights of over 50 kg and shoulder heights of up to 90 cm. The trophy is correspondingly strong as well. Average trophies weigh between 800 g and 950 g, and in exceptional cases 1000 g and more. The antlers feature long main beams with good pearling, and "Siberians" tend to grow more points than their European cousins. In summer, the bucks roam alone, while the does stay together with the fawns and yearlings. In winter, they form herds. The rutting season takes place from late August to around September 10th.
