"Marsh Ghosts"-Sika Deer hunt- Traditional Bowhunting Film

Join Chris Shelton as he chases Sika Deer on Maryland Eastern shore. These marsh ghosts are the toughest critters you can chase in maryland, and trying to do it with a stickbow. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Maryland sika deer are some of the hardest hunting I have ever done, but at the same time, it's the most addicting. Good luck in your future pursuit of these majestic animals.

Wow. Awesome. That was magic, captured the why without the completion of the goal, why it’s hunting not killing. Great stuff
