Yes sir ! Some are killed in Talbot each year but the majority are killed in Dorchester . I’ve taken nine sika’s in my entire hunting life of which two were six points which is what considered decent/good . I’d like to still be hunting them but now at 60+ that marsh in the dark alone isn’t the best thing for me to be doing . Always wanted 40-60 acres in southern Dorchester for hunting but it never happened . Only two Sika 6’s I killed one on state land the other on the Blackwater . Incidentally they are more closely related to elk than Whitetail’s , also me they taste a good bit like elk maybe just a hint sweeter in flavor .
