Went on a Sika deer hunt this week with Justin Matthews of Matthews taxidermy in Sonora Texas. Mulie Mike hooked me up with him as he has access to a unique ranch with free range Sika. Free ranging sika's. These are neat deer. When they bust you they let out a shrill whistle. The bulls will bugle now and then to as they were in the rut. After some hiking etc. we flushed this guy out of his bed. He stood and stared at us at about 200 yards and I was lucky enough to connect. He's a great 4x4 and has a unique coat. Most of the deer we saw had the dark brown coats but his one still had this browing orange coat with the spots. A truly beautiful deer. i want to thank Justin for his hard work and Mike for his help in arranging everything. Here are the money shots.   I know the Dybrowski have the spots. But this is the size of the normal Japanese Sika (smaller). Maybe a hybrid of some time or just a different coloration. But I consider myself lucky.

Heard some bugling on our place in Real County last year and had a few trail cam pics but nothing yet this season.
Great trophy, congrats!
