In the analysed years (1996 and 2005), there were no significant differences in the mass of carcass in comparison with the results from the years 1997-1983, but a decrease in the body mass of roebucks in each age group was visible. The mass of antlers in 2005 was higher in comparison with the mass from 1996 in each age groups. But in comparison with the results from the years 1977-1983, the mass of spikes of four-year-old and older roebucks was lower. The length of beams between 1996 and 2005 did not differ significantly, either, although in 2005 longer beams appeared among roebucks from the first three age groups, and four-year-old and older roebucks had longer beams in 1996. With reference to the research from the years 1997-1983, an increase in the length of beams in the first three age groups and a decrease among four-year-old and older roebucks were observed
