2009年11月18日 · The importance of good tasting deer meat lies more with the meat preparation then with the specie of deer. Any meat can taste good if cooked correctly. I had sika before and it was better then whitetail.

the way they score them in North America for SCI is not a level playing field. a Jap sika (look at Maryland sika deer) are a very small deer and will top out around 100 lbs and will have antlers proportionate to their bodies. most are just a 3x3. the dybowski are bigger, whitetail sized animals and the Manchurians can get 250+ lbs.

Some folks really like elk, and prefer that taste over beef. Those folks would certainly choose Sika over Axis. Elk (Sika) is some excellent meat, and even though I prefer Axis over Sika - both Elk and Sika (and red deer) are far superior to whitetail for the only reason that whitetail have more of a "gamey" flavor.

2011年5月3日 · Sika drop a little later than whitetails, but they should have dropped by now. Depends on a lot of factors - but they should regrow antlers in around 140 days - so September they should be fully grown and most should have all the velvet gone.

2024年1月30日 · Animals running together is a different matter. I’ve seen an ibex Billy that ran with a herd of Sika deer. Really the only one who probably knew it was an ibex was the Sika as the ibex didn’t have a mirror to discern he was the odd one out. I’ve seen axis and whitetail intermingle in the same space and same feed station much like other ...

I've only shot one, and it was an older bull. On the same trip, my wife took a couple of axis does. While each tasted different and axis is by far the best, the Sika was Delicious!!!! Reminded me of elk more then anything else. If the opportunity happens, I'd shot sika deer over whitetail for eating without thinking twice about it.

2014年12月8日 · The red deer, Sika, are all part of the elk family. They can cross bred fairly easily and lots of documented hybrids. Re: Axis deer Crossbreeding [ Re: Kobus ] #5462999 12/07/14 08:13 PM

2021年9月7日 · Sika are an endless source of confusion and misinformation, particularly in Texas. Firstly, there are approximately 14 subspecies of Sika Deer....which all originate from Southeast Asia. They have also been introduced to the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and of course the United States (probably other places I'm forgetting as well).

The Silk Deer(elk x sika) was an attempt to get a more manageable size animal for venison farming. for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype Re: Interesting info on interbreeding/exotics [ Re: nsmike ] #6033765 11/17/15 02:42 AM
