Never gotten to look for those, but it would be neat. This past year was my first year sika hunting & I am hooked. Those things are neat. Just wish they were a bit closer to home. Pretty nice to have that matching antler - too bad its not a pair!!

Found a sika(hind, doe, female) skull while hunting. Looked like the size of a fawn whitetail.

Yeah I don't know how you found that one. Looks like a pumpkin handle. I should have kept the skull it was pretty cool.

Is that a sika shed? How big is it...where, when? I got an eye for detail! ;D It's even smaller than it looks. It was pedicle side up,in the sand,(only thing showing) among some cactus on Assateague last October. Happened to glance at it,whilst I was answering nature's call ;D Found a decent 3 point WT shed a couple minutes later. Funny thing was,not a single bite/gnaw mark on either one. Would have looked for more ,but them $#@$$ skeeters already had me 2 quarts low! |

Well, congrats on that shed. I've been keeping my eyes out, but am yet to get one this year. Damn those skeeters!!!

Skeeters are good, they keep out the riff-raff and less dedicated! That's a neat little shed, I'm still trying to figure out how it would have looked on the buck... |

I'm for sure riff-raff,but I'm dedicated riff-raff. Some folks even think I ought to be committed. ;D Saw my first sika in the mid 70s on Malkus's place,and didn't know what the heck it was! And the bugling,in the pre dawn darkness,didn't help with the imagination of a young boy! They all had a good laugh at my expense! That shed looks like it HAD to have curved back into the skull. Maybe he had a migrane? |

That's what I thought. Looks like it curves back and would almost hit it in the head. A few years back, I shot a whitetail whose antler dropped down and was almost in his mouth. I'll have to take a pic & post it.
