Client of mine took this huge stag in Japan. I'll have the details when he gets back but I thought folks would like to see how big this variety of Sika gets on Hokkaido.

Have seen similar heads from Hokkaido Sika, taken by hunters from here. Absolutely awesome.


Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing.

Mark... is it still archery only for hunters that are non-residents?

Looks like Dybowsky species with size of the body and horns
Honestly, it’s not regular Japanese sika species

Serious stag!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Few people I asked and who know sika hunting from many years of hunting them all said Dybowsky
Regular sika are size of smaller whitetail
Interesting is, that this is from Hokkaido so my feeling is it’s not native there so high fence? Or released there in past?
Anyway, not shitting on anyone’s parade, just thinking out loud
Dybowsky are northern big sika from Russias far east and they re beasts for sure

Isn’t there like 10 subspecies of Sika Deer?


Way back on AR there was a gent who regularly hunted them on Hokkaido and shot some serious monsters.

Those found in Hokkaido are far bigger than other Sika and are completely natural if I’m not mistaken.

Folks,

Yes! A guy with the screen name of Hokkaido started posting about the Sika hunting on Hokkaido around 2010. The Sika are native there and are plentiful.
He was instrumental in getting a bow permit for foreign hunters.

I'll find out from my client on his return more details about guns etc.

Google Hokkaido Yezo sika
One of the largest sika subspecies, definitely like Dybowsky sika
Never knew that as I always thought they were only on mainland in Primorsky kraj, I North Korea and Manchuria
Always thought all the Jap Islands sika were smaller species
Super interesting and it shows you how little sometimes we know…
