Another Maryland Stag

Steve Kendrot · October 18, 2009, 10:17:00 PM

Got this guy last Wednesday. Took the day off from work and glad I did! Saw him crossing in front of me along the edge of a Phragmites patch. gave a quick cow call and next I knew he was on fast approach. I was sitting on the ground in a clump of switch grass for cover and he never saw me. Arrowed him at seven yards. He was down within 15 seconds thankfully. These guys can be easy to lose in these marshy covers.

At 65 pounds, these little elk are a little easier to pack out than their American counterparts! Hauled him over a mile back to the truck using my bike. First time for that and worked like a charm!

As a fellow Sika hunter that is quite an accomplishment.

I know most of the people on here probably do not know much about sitka deer but this is quite an accomplishment,they call the nastiest swamps home. Congrats!

Hey Steve, good going. I see you are using the Big Horn Recurve. What happen to the home made longbow? Either way congrats is in order. Now that you have put one down, tell John he had better get going(LOL)

Steve, Good job there "Old Scruffy Face"...I thought for sure you would of got him with that "Bamboo Backed Bow" Oh you broke yours too I Heard...Yep mine is in two pieces too...I'm leaving for Daughter # Two this Thursday and will be gone for two full weeks but after I get home and do my share of "Diaper Doody" or "Duty" then maybe the Mrs. will let me go out and play Traditional Bowhunter...Glad to see some Maryland Homies here...Hey can you send a pic of your stag to "Mike Mittin" and tell him Keefer's wanted him to see what a Sika Deer looks like? His handle is "HerdBull" if you don't already know...God Bless Bro. and sorry I didn't get to the shoots but once at the range this past spring...I've been slacking but for a good reason...Keefer's <")))><
