Hi All,

I'm planning a hunt in TX for red deer and fallow. Can anyone please post pics of Red deer that score >350SCI and fallow >250SCI if you have them? I've been looking for animals of this trophy quality and would like to see what you folks may have. I cannot travel outside the country, so, will have to "settle" on TX.

Many thanks!

Doug

Don't have a clue what the SCI score is but here is a fallow I took.

Really nice Sika Doug. Who were you hunting with when you took that one?

Hi GB,

I hunted with Ken Wilson of Sportsman-on-Film fame at the Galloway Ranch in Pearsol TX. He scores 139 3/8SCI and is a top ten. We saw him everyday and looked at him and kinda agreed that we could take him anytime we wanted to. So....I shot a blackbuck, corsican, ibex and axis and then decided I had more credit and we found him laying in an open field with some elk. I told Ken that I just couldn't shoot him like this, so, we waited till they got up. A good 20 minutes later, the elk got nervous and off they went and the chase was on. Into some thick stuff and we NEVER saw him again for the last 6 hours of that day. Next morning I had to be at the airport in San Antonio by 11am. We got up at 5am went searching for him.. Ken said that we could hunt till about 8:30 and then we would have to leave for the airport. We looked and looked till 8am and then on a feeder we saw some whitetail and one really dark deer as well. It was HIM...and we stalked and I shot and now he's hang'n here in Massachusetts!

I greatly enjoy the site!

No doubt he is one exceptional sika. I'd have had to have pulled the trigger on him too. I'd like to add a nice sika but most I've seen so far just haven't made me want to shoot.

I have Ken's videos on hunting exotics. Enjoy them much.

Hi GB,

Ken's a great guy and the big debowski sika are all over TX. I've never seen one as big anywhere in the north east. I'm actually looking for a japanese sika which is the smallest of the species, and coal black. Their antlers are very tiny though and a good trophy is around 20".

IF my red deer- fallow hunt falls through because we cannot find animals of the high trophy quality that I want (and I do ship the meat home, but I do not travel from Boston to TX to hunt trophies that I can get here), I'll search for another sika.

I do love exotics!

Doug
