Free Range Sika deer
My uncle got a free ranging sika deer on our property in pecos county. It is at least 50 miles from the nearest place that is high fenced and might have these. I guess with all of the fires this summer he escaped. He was shot today around 5:00 p.m. at a feeder set up for pigs. It made my day that he got an exotic on his property and didn't have to pay a dime for it. Not a bad looking deer either has a decent set of horns for not being paid for. We have never seen this deer before on the property ever and if he hadn't of shot it we probably never would have seen it again. I think he is going to get it mounted. One heck of a story for him to tell. The only thing we usually see out there is dogs and hogs so this was a cool surprise. And he thinks there might have been another one with it but he isn't real sure. I just wish I could have seen it in person.
Here is the pic.
