Sometimes you are lucky if you see this much of the deer. More often the only thing
you see is the doe head in the marsh needle grass. (at the center right water's edge in the picture)

This would be your shot if you were lucky enough to see the deer. The next thing we knew, we had lost sight of him...Notice a doe in front of him.

(October 2013) Guest Comments:
"I wanted to take a moment and tell you what a great experience we had this weekend while hunting at the Smithfield property. Although the animal
sighting were few and far between because of the weather, we enjoyed ourselves.
The best was not the fact that I arrowed my first ever Sika deer but the interaction with your guide Jason. I have been on guided trips
from Canada to Montana but have never met someone that cares about the experience his hunters have like Jason. We will be back next year!"

(November 2013) Guest Comments:
"Thanks to you and Jason for a great youth hunt for my son and myself. Beautiful place down there!"
(November 2013) Guest Comments:
"Percy, I just wanted to commend you for having some of the most beautiful land and for finding one of the best guides for your clients. I have spent a weekend down there this fall twice now with different hunting buddies.
Both times we came back with Sika (mine and 1 friends a hind, my son a stag). Jason just bends over backwards to make sure everyone is happy, has the best chance at a trophy and is an overall wonderful guide. He put us
in some awesome stands, always communicated well (although cell reception was iffy at best from the marsh), and gave us great service once the Sika were down. He tromped through marsh in the dark to find my sons stag and
skinned and butchered the Sika as we asked. He even tanned my hind skin and sent it off to a tanner for me. I also want to say that I heard about you initially from Jason when I came across his number and communicated
with him last summer about Sika hunting. He gave me your website.
It's also amazing that all 3 youth hunters on youth weekend were successful. Thats a testament to your guide and your operation. Great job!!
Again, I want to thank you and Jason for a wonderful experience and I have expressed our feelings to many fellow hunting buddies up here in PA. We look forward to another hunt with you in the near future."

(January 2013) Guest Comments:
"I would highly recommend Sika Stag as a choice outfitter when chasing Maryland’s addictive and elusive sika deer. Having hunted with Sika Stag several times, the results have been the same - a great time.
It’s my belief that in order for a guided hunt to be successful, an outfitter needs two things: great property and great guides.
Sika Stag has both. Beautiful properties with the chance to see a tremendous amount of wildlife and a guide that is truly enjoyable to hunt with."

"My father and I hunted at RCR on Monday 12/6. We had a great stay and I was able to take a nice stag and a doe.
Thanks very much for the memorable time. Mike was a great guide, we hunted with a real nice couple from South Carolina,
everything I was very satified."
Thanks, Brian
