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

Awesome that everything came together.

Dang, that's a nice one too! We shot a few back in the day but nothing even approaching that size.

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

My favorite part is his coat and mane. And dark color.

Time to pop for a full body mount.

Thank you, but it keeps getting better.

Officially entered him in SCI

As I mentioned before, they don't have separate catagories for high/low fence in North America and they lump the 3 species together (this is a Japanese sika, the dybowski and manchurian are much larger)

Out of 482 typical frame entries he ranks 154 and no. 21 all time bow killed in North America

They still have a separate category for jap sika in Europe and had he been scored under that category he would be no.17 all time and no.1 archery killed
