Who has experience hunting sika? We have several on our lease, but we've seen only does and fawns all summer. Haven't seen a buck in person or on camera yet. I know they're around though, as the does were all pregnant and now have fawns.
From what I'm reading, sika bucks hang out in bachelor groups away from the does during the summer (similar to elk), and then they herd up with the does when the rut gets going in the fall. What type of terrain do the bucks prefer in the summer? It's just weird we're not seeing them at all anywhere. I'm hoping the bucks come to where the does are during the rut, rather than the does leaving to go find the bucks.
