Yes !! @Mohawk .308 - you going to mount it ??
Beautiful looking animal - hard to beat the Sika fineness and lines and colors etc

PS
Mohawk 308 - 243 nice little rifles ah

That's a ripper Sika Mohawk 308.

Have a bit of a fetish for little Remington bush rifles......1 Mohawk and 3 model 7s !! Would like a Mohawk in .243..

Another advantage with a good Sika mount - they are not invasive in the living area
It would look great - even if the score is not 180+

Well done - hate myself for not venturing in after them more often when lived near Taupo 20-30 years ago :-(

Holy shit what a sika!

Very nice

He should score well as he is very even, but as stated score isn't everything, eye appeal is important also and he looks good.

11pt Stag from East Cape a week ago. Moaning with a few Hinds in tow. My uncles best stag to date, very happy for him and satisfying as he taught me 15 years ago to hunt, so to witness this all unfold was a privilege.

just got back from weekend down Opotiki way. I have been up and down there a bit over last three weeks with the roar being a bit patchy.
Heard this fella moaning and closed distance on him in his rohe.
Gave him a moan and he trotted straight along his track and into a 165gr speer at 20m.
Wouldn't mind a few more that behave like that.
