not ML but pretty cool
Here is a sika deer I shot a few weeks ago with my 270. These little guys are the reason I got a muzzleloader. Maryland muzzleoader season runs through their rut. Next year I'm going after them archery then muzzleloader and then rifle.

Nice deer Bowfisherman. Didn't know they had skiasrunning around Maryland. I found a good article on them from the Maryland DNR http://www.dnr.state.md.us/wildlife/sikadeer.asp .

yeah their real small. I carried it out of the marsh on my shoulders. That one was maybe 40-50 lbs. It was a button buck. A hind (female) averages about the same weight. A big stag can be 80 lbs or more. They are great eating. Better than whitetail in my opinion.
