Thought I would share this with all of ya's. Its our first fawn we ever had. Our stag is white and our heinze is brown. This is what we got. This pic it wasnt quite a day old yet.

Thats pretty neat!

So do you guys raise whitetails?

Ok, I looked sika up b/c I was wondering. Its native to Japan.

They resemble a whitetail but they are not as big, correct?

cool pic, give it 3-5 days and it will be bouncing of the walls when it "finds it legs"[:-]

The Japan sikas are indeed smaller. They are the ones that are in Maryland also. The ones we have I believe are Mongolian sikas. They get as big as a whitetail.

yea they do have them in MD, but just on the eastern shore. i actually shot my first one with a cross bow in Cambridge this past bow season, i shot it with a cross bow. they are extremely small, like a big dog actually. they are harder to kill then whitetails, more elusive. they are actually small elks - really...they bugle and everything. it is an amazing feeling to be sitting in a treestand and hear them "buggglllleeeeE" ur hair on the neck stands straight up. i posted the pic of mine in the bowhunting site, im gonna try to find it and i will post it 2day if i can. but yea, they are in Md but just on the ES, they are extremely fun to hunt, i almost like hunting them as much as whitetails. if u ever get the chance to hunt them, i would take it
