Anyone been out lately? I went the other morning for sika deer. They are a small Asian deer that has become established in a few counties here in MD. There are a few subspecies, and we have one of the smallest, both in terms of body and antler size. They like to hang out in the marsh and are fairly nocturnal. They are actually more closely related to an elk than a deer, so they bugle, and this is the time of year they mate. I only got a glimpse of one, but had them walking around in the marsh and bugling around me all morning. The darn little things just would come out of the phragmities. Might be able to sneak out tomorrow morning before my daughters soccer game, but it is going to be tight. Good luck this week end.
