Holy sheetz!

Just goes to show that if it wasn't a challenge, a lot of us wouldn't hunt.  Could you imagine one of those mounted on your wall there.  Its like mounting a stray cat.  lol

That one horned stag on the end is a ripper; heavy mass.

Forget the bow.  Looks like you could walk up with a hammer or a nine iron and still get one.

 

Upon seeing that, my thoughts were:

• is that a petting zoo
• that is a lot of "speed" beef

Google up Nara Park.....

I post on another forum where there is an American lawyer who did an experimental hunt bow only this year for overseas hunters by convincing the local authorities on Hokkiado the conservation could pay from hunting. Those Sika are a larger subspecies.($6500 for 2 stags/6 days, he has smoked some whoppers with a rem 870 slug gun; and had some good bear sightings, no shots)I don't have a link....google "Eric Rose,Sika hunt" or similar, should pull up a pic. He had a petition drive at one point for support. Tough to get a gun permit and hunt in Japan, very expensive yearly so they have dwindling local hunter numbers and over run with pigs and deer some places.

These deer are closer to the Maryland sika size here in the US......a smaller deer, not sure of the base herd origin.

Closest relative is Rusa found farther south in a much heavier package overall.

I stand corrected...they are manchurian sika deer..........the formosan sika deer are the ones I was thinking of and are the ones found around Maryland....they look totally different.

Here's some Japanese bear trail cam from that American......Happened to save that in one of my hunt files....

IIRC a boar would run almost 550Kg and sows around 350.
