Visitors to the stand saw an impressive display of trophy heads, including medal-quality Irish deer species, as well as wild boar from Croatia, chamois from Austria and roe deer from Scotland. Several specimen heads were measured by Joe Murphy and Jonathan Murphy, accredited ITC measurers, including Declan Mortimor’s Gold Medal wild goat from Co. Clare, Michael Cleere’s Gold Medal red deer from Co. Kilkenny and the first recorded Gold Medal sika head from Co. Wexford.
