RE: Big Texas Sika gets a dirt nap!!!!!

Thanks guys!!! I felt lucky to get him on a low fence free range ranch... I got the score sheet back from the taxidermists, he was 137 2/8 , he would have been over 140 without the broken tine... I have been looking at some of the record books, it requires 94" to make goldand he will definitely be a gold medal buck... I am not sure yet if I am going to enter him in the books yet or not but it's pretty cool to know he's agold medal buck!!!

Wow, that would be a MD state record. He even looks totally different than MD Eastern Shore sikas.

RE: Big Texas Sika gets a dirt nap!!!!!

Big Country I have been looking into the different species of Sika and there are many, that one I shot is what is to be considered a Dybowski (or so I have been told), which is one of the largest breeds. This one dwarfs the other one I shot butI believe it is a JapaneseSika which are the smallest of the species, however they will interbreed so who really knows... This one went 225-250lb on the hoof.... As for records SCI's #1 in the world goes 198 and some change, that thing looks like an elk...

Burnie, I still have Axis and Fallow on my list as well and Axis has always been at the top of my list!!!
