OPENING DAY 2010

SK-1 harvested this 5 1/2 year old buck in the first hour of daylight on opening day! This is a Japanese Shika (AKA Sika), known in the local dialect as Ma-Jika, or original deer. He has a fully matured set of antlers with brow tines and three additional tines, the max for a typical deer of this breed.
Nick helped out with the butchering so we made short order of this work, and the freezer is now stocked!

Gut Deer?

See you in the yama!
SK-1 OUT!
