Hunting 2013

Lyn had an opportunity to go sika deer hunting this fall.  A sika deer is in the elk family...must be the miniature breed....a full grown sika is only 50-60 lbs.  They feed mostly at night and aren't the easiest to hunt.  They live in the marshes along the Chesapeke and Lyn got lucky and got one with the bow on his first time going.  Most call it beginner's luck, he calls it skill.

He shot another interesting deer during MD bow season.  It's called a piebald....one that is mostly white with brown spots.  As you can see the antler was damaged while in velvet creating an unique shape, and it had a strange overbite which you can't really see in the pic.  It looks like we will be having yet another addition to the household!

None of the kids bagged any deer this year.  Lyn also got 2 doe.
