    MY personal opinion is unless you are entering head in a national competition where genetics are important. Dont do it. Its a nice Sika and can remain a nice Sika regardless of what one else says. Its not record breaking as far as the books go and so who cares in reality if there is some red in there. Id happily mount that as a sika if I shot it and why wouldn't you.

    An example. Some years back I did a solo hunt with my bow for Tahr. I ended up shooting a 14 year old bull that would not have survived another year going off of his condition in summer and his teeth. It was a bloody awesome feat and Im proud of it. It will measure somewhere near 12 inches but I have never measured it. Why? because its just as likely to go 11.75 as it is 12 or 12.25. Im happy with it being about 12 and 14 years old despite others wanting to know exactly what scores.

    If any of that makes sense.
