When you think of the marshy shore of eastern Maryland, you might think of ducks, maybe you think of fishing but that's not even close to the critter we have on the menu this week. This week we dive into a success story on a not so commonly known species of deer the sika deer. Sika deer a native of southern Japan, were released on Maryland's lower eastern shore in 1916 Clement Henry and have thrived alongside the native whitetail to produce a prolific and huntable species. In the month of October if you happen to find yourself in the Maryland Marsh you just might hear the bugle of a Sika Deer, but don't let that fool you into thinking a public land hunt will come easy.
