Welcome to Muddy Marsh Outfitters!
"Home of the best Sika Deer hunting located on Maryland's Eastern Shore."


Maryland's Sika deer have a very interesting history. Most records show that a small number of Sika were released on James Island in 1916. Since then, their numbers have increased dramatically, widely spreading through Dorchester County.

The Sika is a close relative to the New World Elk, native of Asia, we like to call them the "Poor Man's Elk." The Sika is very vocal. Bugling stags and chirping does closely duplicate the Rocky Mountain Elk.

Boggy marshes and swamps are what the Sika calls home. The steady KPLOOSH-KPLOOSH of hooves in water is sometimes the only warning that a Sika is approaching one's stand.

The Sika doe averages 45-50 pounds, a trophy stag around 85-90 pounds with 5-6 point racks sweeping towards its rump.

Hunting the elusive Sika is an affordable means of reaching a high expectation in a challenging bow hunt. We hope you come and join us!

Thankyou,
