Sika Deer Hunting
- Thread starter Duramaxlbz
- Start date
We got 3 guys going down to assiteague, for early muzzloader........
I’ve never been but one of my buddies says they’re plentiful there. We are tent camping & gonna try to find some thick stuff.
I'm in NoVA and would jump on that in a heartbeat...let me know particulars.
I'm thinking of going down in late September, trying to decide hotel or campground. Anyone familiar or recommend anything?
Most hunters will tell you the bugs are horrible and the deer are nocturnal until mid October when they rut.

I have zero experience but from everyone I asked, that was my conclusion as well. I figured early muzzy would be good timing......
Hotel. Skeeters are horrible...definitely need at least 1 thermacell. I'd bring a backup just in case lol. . There's a days inn that I use. Its like 60 or 70 bucks usually.
Get in the frag on the edge of the pines across from a farm or nearby something like that. As soon as they start getting pressured they go right for the frag. I havent hunted sika there but my buddy does all the time. I have done a few turkey hunts there and figured a lot out just from scouting birds and seeing them move.
I'll keep an eye on this thread. Me n my pops are gonna be hunting the rut this year. I've seen some really nice stags at assiteague Island too. We used to go drive on the beach at night for rockfish and those little buggers were jumpin all over the roads. They got some serious hops.
little late to this thread. definitely will be there the 2nd week of october for a 3 day trip to blackwater. would love to meet up with some folks from here and put some swamp ghosts on the ground!
I’m not sure on an exact date for October I was hoping to go when we get the first colder weather.
You know there’s no post count requirements for the contest, right............
No seriously though, I’m looking forward to this h in hunt, I’ve lived in Maryland for over 20yrs but never got it together & planned it out. Hunting them in the dunes wasn’t my first pick, but my buddies wanted to camp & go there it was a bucket list hunt for them. If I get the chance I want that classic muck & swamp ghost hunt.
Both places will be cool hunts. Each in there own way. Its so much different than typical whitetail hunts. Even the turkey lottery hunts i did just felt way different than what I was used to here in MD. Chasing birds in the swamp! Surprising amount of turkey there actually. Used to hunting western MD for that. Im excited to get my first stag hunt in.
