Maryland Sika deer double
« on: October 15, 2014, 03:03:00 PM »
Hunted the last 2 days on Black water refuge and private land on Maryland's eastern shore.  Mornings were slow but last evening was off the hook.  Passed on a spike and a cow but called this guy over and made a great 23 yards shot.  My buddy shot at almost the same time.  I tried to call him then put my bino,s on him about 125 yards away and he was giving me a thumbs up.
For those that don't know Sika are like miniature elk that has run free for almost 100 years.  They are from some Japanese island and they love living in the swamps and marsh of southern Dorchester co.
 I was shooting a Centaur and my buddy an original Schafer.

Congratulations on a nice Hind and Stag!
T.j. if you check out or search Maryland deer season bag limit it will show you that now the bag limit is 3 and only one can be antlered BUT that's per season..You can use your bow during the other two seasons but must wear hunter orange and pay for the stamp...When you purchase your license you will get to hunt with the gun but must buy a seperate archery and a seperate muzzle load stamp..If you do a search and can hook up on some private land you'll love it ...Blackwater has lots of public but best to get hold of Steve Kendrot here..He is like "Mick Dodge" and lives with the Sika's...   :biglaugh:

Very nice!! The last time I hunted Black Water I about got mauled by skeeters.  I was down early a few years back and would love to try to get down during the rut.

The meat is just like elk. I know people who would trade 3 whitetails for 1 little Sika.    :bigsmyl:

To me the meat is a little darker,finer textured and tenderer than whitetail.
