First Bow Buck - Sika - Trivia Question

[TB80]

First off - I finally killed my first buck with a bow after four years of bow hunting. I never thought it would be a Sika though. We hardly ever see exotics at our ranch and this one just happened to be passing through when I got a shot at it. It was about a 25 yard shot and he ran about 150 yards. The slick trick magnum left a good blood trail. I am pretty excited.





Now, for the trivia question. We have no hogs at our ranch. I have never seen a coyote and only heard one about two or three years ago. There are no black panthers or chupacabra sightings. It is outside of Comfort, Texas. I did not see any buzzards on the day I shot this deer. However, six hours after gutting the deer, I returned to set up a trail cam on the gut pile and something had already eaten all the gut and there was only a little bit of blood left.

Anyone know what would have eaten the guts?

Congrats...I would think yotes, even though you don't see them they are everywhere. Or a hobo

Congrats! For a Jap sika, that's the equivalent of knocking over a 140-150 whitetail - hope you're getting it mounted.

P.S. you do have coyotes. We hadn't seen any for years and finally started hearing/spotting a couple. Put cyanide poppers out and killed 9 in a couple weeks.

Ravens will get on them too this time of year, but they don't eat much.

thanks guys. I actually didn't even know if it was a good sika or not. I thought it looked old and mature, but i didn't know it was that good.

i guess we have coyotes. i wish i had of got the trail cam out earlier.

Awesome low fence Sika!

It could have been buzzards? They eat the soft stuff realy quick. Although you probably would have seen them when you pulled up.
