I never saw a Sika anywhere I hunted. I surely did not know they got that big! ha At first, I thought it was a Sambar or some kin! I need details...where, when, what rifle/load and did you get a chance to weigh him? smile

I hunted axis and fallow deer last weekend. Quite the exciting day, especially when the Baltimore zookeepers called in the SWAT team.

I'd hazard a guess that the sika Bighorn shot is a Dybowski. They are the largest or 2nd largest subspecies of sika deer. Most shot are nippon subspecies.

Sika deer was the first exotic I shot. Hunted them in the first part of September down by Mountain Home. The rut was on for them and they bugle like 'mini-elk'.

Next year went back and shot an axis at the same place.

About 10 years ago I went to Texas with a couple of friends for an exotic hunt. I had just completed my .300 Weatherby and my first 3 kills with it were a Blackbuck, a Scimitar Horned Oryx, and an Aoudad. A few years later my GF and I went to New Zealand where I shot a Fallow deer and a Red deer stag.

I've seen Axis deer and Mouflon rams on a couple of the Hawaiian Islands, but I haven't hunted them, YET.

I hunted red stag at Double D Ranch in Ohio and had a great time! The meat was quite excellent.
