Sika Deer Hunting
TIOGA Guided Sika Deer Hunts
When you’re booking exotic game hunting trips at Tioga Boar Hunting, you have the option of scheduling a hunt for several types of deer, including sika deer. Our sika deer hunts provide a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Notably, you won’t find many sika deer in the U.S. today since they’re native to Asia and found mostly in Japan these days. However, you can find them scattered around on our hunting preserve, which is one of the most expansive hunting preserves on the whole East Coast.
What’s It Like Going on a Guided Sika Deer Hunt?
Sika deer are smaller than most deer and tend to hole up in thick cover, so finding one in a position for a clean shot is genuinely challenging, which makes bagging one that much more satisfying.
Our guides make it easier, showing you where to look and offering the tips that put you in position to succeed, plus help with skinning and butchering if you land one.
Interesting Sika Deer Facts
Sika deer, sometimes called spotted deer or Japanese deer, originated in East Asia and once ranged from the Russian Far East to northern Vietnam. Their numbers have shrunk across much of that range, but they’re still plentiful in Japan.
They run smaller than other deer, males weigh about 90 pounds, females about 70, with narrow antlers and a shaggy neck mane that set them apart from other species you’ll encounter on our exotic hunts. That combination of rarity and challenge is exactly what draws hunters to them.
