I would guess 25 to 30 lbs of meat?
Muddy marsh seems like they will try and fit you in, but they also won't over hunt. If it is just you, I bet they can find a spot. The group after me didn't show up, maybe if you were close enough and had schedule wiggle room they would let you be on standby?
I suggest trying muddy marsh. Shoot them and email and dont get nervous if you don't hear back until February. Depending on your party size, they may be able to take you.
Ya, I heard January was good. I plan to make that trip a tradition. Not to far, something different and fairly inexpensive. And after eating some I won't hold out for a stag!
The hunt isn't physically demanding, a lot of luck and waiting to be in the right place at the right time. But sika deer are so jumpy and nervous, getting the shot off and connecting is the hard part. Again, the meat alone made it worth it. Also fairly inexpensive.
Well... we had a great time. Muddy Marsh is a great outfit. We had 2 missed, 1 stag and 1 female harvested. I saw a stag 1st morning at 120 yards ( muddy marsh is bow only)
I saw another stag, a nice 6 pt at last light, my last night. He was at 22 yards, broadside. I collected myself and...
Last day.. got 1 evening rained out. I saw 1 stag 1st morning. Heard a bunch. Pretty funny, they sound like small bugles. My group has 1 stag (5 pt) which the guide said is equal to 130" whitetail, 1 female and 2 misses. I haven't had one other than the stag at 100 yards yet. Tonight is...
Hey all, anyone ever hunt sika deer in Maryland? Driving down in a few hours for my first time. Going with a handful of guys. Outfitter is muddy marsh. Habe heard great things, but this is a first. Also weather looking like rain, didnt know if thats good, bad or indifferent?
So I was talking to my wife about my dilemma of what gun to bring next fall moose hunting... she said me complaining about whether or not to buy a new gun and have to decide which one to take is "not her problem" laughed and walked away!
So now, I'm thinking I keep my 338, sell only the tikka...
Wow. That's crazy that he just kept coming. Another reason to go with a heavier bullet as well. Coming back from my Idaho elk hunt this year, a guy on my flight said a member of his hunting party had his face bit off by a grizzly. My hunting partner carries a pistol and gave me one which I...
I've never thought much about a 325 or a 340?
Maybe I should just jump to a 375! But I have no interest in bear hunting or hunting in Africa sooo shooting whitetails in N.Y. could get interesting haha
The kimber 7mm I have has the ability to.have a muzzle break of not. It's the first and only rifle I have with a break. Are they that loud? Do people using breaks wear hearing protection while hunting or just at the range? I am from the east and I know my deer rifles would kill an elk or...
I have a 22 250, 6.5 creedmore, 30 06, 2- 7mm's, 338 win mag and a 270. So I don't "need" a new rifle but I have a buddy that wants my 338 win mag and another one that wants one of the 7mm. After reading these responses I'm thinking about putting a decent scope on the kimber 7mm and trying it...
Thanks guys. I was about 80 20 in favor of 338 win mag. I also have a tikka t3 in 7mm that shoots great which is the reason I was going to get rid of the kimber. I have heard that the kimber is either a great shooter or a lemon. That has prevented me from investing in a scope for it just to...
Hey all, so I have won a few rifles and am looking into selling them for a big game rifle(elk and moose).
One of the rifles is a kimber mountain ascent in 7mm. I am debating between 338 win mag- winchester model 70 extreme weather or 338 lapua CZ badlands 550. I know I can kill elk and moose...
