I'm looking for one in hard antler, when is the best time? I'm not concerned about the location, however it must be a weekend hunt. I'm not able to get time during the week. I would prefer the hunt be with a bow, however NOT a deal breaker. Please let me know the best time and rates I'm looking at. Thanks in advance.

call mike jetton, chalk creek outfitters. they have nice sika and hard to beat their prices.

They are hard antlered roughly the same time as WT - usually out of velvet a bit earlier. Best time is generally earlier in the season - I.e. sept-Oct. They'll be in rut, and they can get busted up later in the season.

Kent Creek has pure Manchurian's - similar, but a distinct subspecies.

My sikas just dropped their antlers. They aren't dybowski tho.

I can take good care of you bud, be later this fall but we will have some great dybowskis and its all inclusive any way you want it. Shoot me a PM if you want more info.
