Don't know anything about the sub specie thereof, but Terry Hindgardner(sp) of North Starr Gameland Shooting preserve has a Sika herd in his enclosure. He is in Tama, Iowa. Phones: 641-750-8886(cell)...641-492-6326 and 641-492-6159 are his land lines.
I do know this for sure and for certain - those Sika are excellent table fair...better than the best whitetail, and I eat alot of whitetail and love it!
