RICE ETR

I used to go to Chincoteague (sp?) to watch the birds when i was younger....those sikadeer (think they are from the elk side right?)were all over the place...I'd love to hunt them.
Good luck!
PS, i remember them being smaller bodied then whitetail...how much did yours weigh?

I want to make the right contact because I would love to hunt the Sikas one of these years.

rice - yea they are much smaller, body wise and rack wise. they dont have real wide-type racks, they are more vertical than wide. mine was small, and weighed probably 100 pounds. im not really sure. i had a pic on here somewhere, ill see if i can find it. they are extremely fun tho, they make a bugling noise. and your right, they are the small cousin of the elk.
