Charlie Schline has been really enjoying his recent retirement and has been avidly pursuing his many quests. Over the course of the last couple of years Charlie has traveled to Africa, hunting African plains game, ocean fishing regularly and has been very successful in taking some nice whitetail bucks but something had been missing. Charlie has never taken a Sika deer and his farm in Wicomico County has been seeing an increasing number of Sika but only three had been taken over the last 8 years and none prior to that. The first was taken in 2004 by his son-in-law Chris Macmillan (a slob 6point Sika), the second by his daughter Shelly Macmillan (hind) and the third by his brother, Jess Sirkle, a nice 6 point, but Charlie had not received his chance. Charlie had been seeing a few Sikas on cam shots but nothing by light, and his quest had been intensifying over the years, but yesterday things would go in the favor of “goodoleboy” Charlie. On 11-30-10 at approximately 1530 hrs Mr. Sika tried to sneak past Charlie but he was all over him. Charlie said there was no mistaking this animal with its dark coat delicately navigating his wooded Wicomico farm. After recognising the coat, Charlie noticed it was also sporting a respectable rack and he squeezed off the trigger of his old reliable 30-30 and the quest was completed, the Sika dropped in its tracks. Congratulations Charlie, you have once again made your son proud, Great Job Dad
