last time I will post it here but I'm super pumped to say the least....
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Congrats on the Sika sir.
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Wow, good job. Was just reading your "ongoing saga" thread and wondering if you'd see him on Friday.
Awesome that everything came together.

So he went gold both SCI and Record of Exotic
Officially he scored 119" SCI and 112" unofficially R.O.E
SCI quit having separate categories for the different subspecies so he competed with the much larger dybowski and manchurian sika for scoring.
In the European category where they are considered all Japanese sika he smashed the min. Bow or rifle.
He beat the R.O.E min. By 20"
Truly a remarkable animal
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

My favorite part is his coat and mane. And dark color. Time to pop for a full body mount.

Cool looking deer. He's a beauty. He'll make a beautiful mount.
