RE: anyone ever hunt shika deer?
Yes, I have. They are not like whitetail at all, and for the most part are very shy, timid and meek. Not much of a challenge in hunting them, although they are the best eating deer I have ever had. They like to wallow in the mud and theirfur is often caked with it, so look for them in creekbeds with a lot of shade. I don't know if they respond to scent attractants like our white tails. They are often seen inpairs, a buck and a doe.
