Back yard Non-Typical

This was not what I was expecting to see on my trail cam at my bow stand on a low fence near lake Waco, Is it even legal to shoot a elk here ?

[SneakyPhil]

Yes!

[txstringbender]

Aren't Elk treated like an exotic here in Texas? I'd like to know too.

[DXTroughneck]

[SB09]

Not native to Texas = Open season, anytime, anywhere.

Good luck taking him out!

Yep. Several years ago they became considered an exotic in Texas.

[trophy8]

Yes legal. And I know I'm tired but that looks like a red stag not an elk. Either way is kill him!!

[Txbownut]

Is that an elk or a sika? I'm not real familiar with sika, but doesn't exactly look like an elk either. Either way, it will be a freezer filler! Heck of a trophy right there. Choot'em.

[Txbownut]

Trophy may have it right, red stag?

[TXDean23]

That looks a lot more like a red stag than an elk in my opinion. Still gonna be nice hangin on the wall though!

[elkoholic]

I tink it is a Sika. And elk would have to bend down to eat out of there. Either way smoke that joker!

Hey JT
If you're worried about it being legal, I'll step up and take the risk for you
You can keep 1/2 the meat and I'll dispose the rest

I think it is a SIKA myself and might I add, a very NICE one at that.

[apc10]

Yes it does look like a sika. Either way, bust him.
