Default RE: Saw My First Sika Deer

Sikas are a little more nocturnal than whitetails. They mostly are seen at dusk or dawn unless you push them. Fishing Bay WMA in dorchester county has over 28,000 acres open for public hunting. It is a saltwater tidal marsh ideal sika country but different than most whitetail hunts. Very wet you have to have high rubber boots or hip waders. And the best access is by boat only. These areas are very thick and you cant even walk thru them. You have to hunt the openings. Or the edges of the thick brush. This is a rifle county during gun season. Like 6pt. said you can take 2 with each weapon bow,rifle or mz. 1 doe and 1 buck. These deer do not count against your limit for whitetails. You can also apply to hunt the Assateague Island National Seashore and you will get the permit. Your right cyclone the lower eastern shore has skeeters that are big enough to mate with a turkey flat footed. And one wrong step and you can sink into the swamp muck over your head. I dont want to scare anyone away from hunting these sikas but we do lose a couple of hunters every year. And as far as eating sikas dont waste your time if you get one just contact me and I will come and get it and properly dispose of it on my grill. LOL
