Sika hunt on 9/10-11

Nice one Yohon. Just remember, any Sika with a bow is a trophy. Don't be too picky and 6 pointers are NOT behind every tree as the outfitters like to tell you.

Nice one, Yohon!
Believe me, I am not going to be picky.

"MADE me book"

"MADE me order"

LOL, I bet that took a lot of arm twisting!

Good luck, God bless and be safe!

I've been fortunate enough to hunt at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge for Sika 5 times.
This is my first year applying for their bowhunt. Draw results are due out tomorrow morning, so am anxious to find out if I'll be able to head after them during the rut with my bow.
Sika hunting is addictive. Seems they have more of a knack for popping up when you least expect them more than any animal I've ever hunted.
Good luck and keep us posted.

So----follow-up? I'm going to Blackwater in October and I need some pointers.

any update on how it went?

Barry Winner · September 23, 2012, 06:17:00 AM

Sorry for the delayed update! Got back from the hunt then got swamped at work.

The hunt was great even though I was the only one in camp who didn't get a sika. WE hunted until about 10am and then again from 4pm until the end of legal shooting hours. The strategy was to hunt stands on travel areas or marsh edges in the morning and then over feeders(legal in MD) in the evening. I did see a sika hind on the morning of the second day, but she came through the marsh at about 35 yards. Too far for me.

MuddyMarsh Outfitters did a great job trying to get us all shot opportunities. Five of the six people got shots and five sikas were taken on the two-day hunt. I will definitely go back again.
