Black water refuge is the place to be. Won't tell you the section though

I am considering trying to hunt them this fall on MD public property.

As a young kid/young teen My dad used to drive me over to the refuge during mid day so I could take pics of the big concentrations of geese and ducks. I saw one of the biggest live whitetails I've ever seen near that refuge too. I thought my dad was going to kill us both when he screeched to a halt and pulled off into a ditch to gawk at the thing feeding along a field edge.

I hunted very close to this area- the property/our club was on parts of the Blackwater River and a few miles from the refuge. Before my time (when I was a baby), My father belonged to another hunt club that butted up agaiinst the refuge.

Thanks. I am going to go over there and scout in out a little in the summer. It will really depend on whether I have enough time but I will definitely do it one of these years. Right now I have about 10 other things I want to involving hunting-related stuff including building a stand on my grandparents property

RE: Sika hunter?
Bigcountry-Nice Sika.I hunted them in Md. a couple times-love to hear them bugle-if you didin't know better, you would think your hunting Elk in Colorado (just the bugle). Be prepared to do battle with the skeeters.
My son took a Sika on a texas bowhunt-different for sure. Different sub species.
Blackwater is the place.
I have a friend that lives in Md. & takes them on a regular basis.
Good Luck. I liked the 1st week of Oct..
