Abstract
Study was conducted on a sample consisting of 38 mouflon horns from hunting grounds in Serbia. The
parameters that were analyzed (length of the left horn, length of the right horn, circumference of the horns,
spread of the horns, color of the horns, ring and curvature) were measured according to the propositions
adopted by the The International Council for Game and Wildlife. The aim of the paper was to determine
the absolute and mean values of the length of the left horn and of the right horn, the circumference of the
horns, span of the horns, annularity and curve of the horns, as well as the existence of mutual dependence
between certain parameters of mouflon trophies. Using the method of descriptive statistics, the mean
values of the length of the left and right horns were obtained. Results showed that the right horn was
slightly more developed in the observed population. Namely, the mean value of the length of the right
horn is larger, while the mean values of the circumference of the left and right are almost the same.
The results of Pearson’s correlation showed a statistically significant positive correlation between certain
morphometric parameters of the horns, such as the length of the horns and the circumference of horn in
the second and in the third third distance from the base. A positive correlation was also observed between
curvature of horns and circumference in the first and second thirds, as well as between curvature of horns
and horn span.
