According to the Hunting Rules: 91. The criteria for classifying hunting animals as trophy and (or) selective are established for the following species of hunting animals: elk, red deer, roe deer, fallow deer, sika deer, mouflon, wild boar, European bison (reserve gene pool).
92. Trophy animals include: adult male elk with antlers of a typical spade-shaped, branched, or transitional form with three or more tines on each antler; adult male red deer and sika deer with antlers of a typical form with four or more tines on each antler, including the first (brow) tine and the middle (bez) tine; adult male roe deer with antlers of a typical form longer than the ears with three or more tines on each antler; adult male fallow deer with antlers of a typical form with four or more tines on each antler, including the first (brow) tine and the middle tine; adult male wild boar with visible (protruding from the jaw) lower tusks of 5 centimetres or more in length; adult European bison (reserve gene pool) and mouflon with well-developed antlers of a typical form.
93. Hunting animals exhibiting the characteristics listed in paragraph 92 of these Rules are classified as trophy animals, regardless of whether they possess selective characteristics.
94. Selective animals include: hunting animals of any sex and age with clearly expressed musculoskeletal disorders due to injuries or mutilations (the animal limps, drags its limbs, has impaired coordination of movement); hunting animals with clear signs of disease and (or) exhaustion (the animal is characterised by slow movement, passivity, coughing, sagging hindquarters, hunching); European bison calves (reserve gene pool) born from October to December inclusive; hunting animals with signs of a clearly delayed moult (with winter coat on the flanks and rump in July, or with summer coat on the flanks and belly in December). In cases where, according to the criteria specified in the first part of this paragraph, a female with offspring is subject to selective culling, the offspring shall be subject to selective culling as a priority.
95. For species such as elk, red deer, roe deer, fallow deer, and sika deer, selective animals also include: adult males (over two years of age) with antlers having one or two pointed beams without tines; males with antlers shorter than the length of their ears; males with atypical antlers.
