Thanks guys for al of the congratulations. Pictures are coming soon.
Robert- I'm shooting a Zipper riser with 50 lb longbow limbs, SBD string and 28" CE Heritage 150s 50 grain insert and 200 grain screw in Woodsman Elite. BTW the 56" length is an "experimental" length for Bill Dunn. I think I have the only set ever made. (Bill I guess the cat's out of the bag now). As soon as they see the picture you'll be getting calls. This bow screams a 580 grain arrow.

Zip, I was told that a mature sika weighs between 80 and 100 pounds.  Might be way off since i can't seem to get one but that is what i was told.  Jamie definately got him self a great trophy that he should be dang on proud of!!!  They are a very neat animal to give chase and for him to connect that is very awesome!!  I have been told that it is the finest tasting meat of all the deer species in the US.

Again, Just AWESOME!!!  You better watch out though, Hunting these swamp donkeys is addictive to say the least!!

Congrats
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Take it from one who has chased them for 35 years an 80-100 dressed Sika would have to be a unusually large stag.  Most I've seen are 50-70# and does run smaller around 45-55#.  I once shot a 61# doe which was the heaviest doe I've ever killed.  I got a nice fat spike this year and it was 56#.  They are not large animals.

Nice congratulations!!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

reddogge, Rich, is right on as far as size of the Sika's. The stags are also a lot darker in color than the hinds (does). Rich mentioned that he shot a spike. A spike Sika can be a lot older than your average spike whitetail and a real nice trophy all in itself. I like hunting them in October when they're rutting. You've got to hear them bugle.
The scent of Autumn is like food to the hunters soul.
