RE: Maryland Hunters
Staying at home, no place to gun hunt, thought about bowhunting but nixed that idear for the time being anyway. Best of luck to all of you and have a safe hunt.

RE: Maryland Hunters
My father and I went out this morning.Walked in the woods and deer started snorting.At around 8:00 I seen a little buck coming through the laurel and I could not get a clear shot.Watched him go over the hill and I know he was about 200yds. from dad so I gave 3 bleats with the can and here he comes up towards me and beds down at a little after 8:00 with no shot.I'm watching him groom himself and I'm thinking please don't lay their to long.At about 8:30 he stood up and was coming to me and I was facing the tree.He comes about 35yds. and throws the nose in the air.I was in the wrong tree so I could not get over 15ft. and he seen me put the gun up but, he took the step I needed and it was over.Big bodied buck with about 9" spikes on him.Things been slow with the bow this year so I'm shooting what I can to put meat in the freezer.Shot two with the blackpowder but, still hoping to shoot one with the bow it's been awhile sinceI went a season without a bow kill.

RE: Maryland Hunters
I too hunt in Calvert County Natty Bumpo. What area in Calvert do you hunt? I have two nice spots. One is off of Sollers Wharf Rd. in Lusby and the other is in St. Leonard. I shot a medium sized doe opening morning around 9:30 after passing on a doe early and seeing a 6 pt. that never offered a shot. I also arrowed a nice 8pt. a few weeks ago in St. Leonard put never found it. Lots of blood on the vanes and a decent blood trail but after several hours of looking I never found him. Good luck everyone for the rest of the season.

RE: Maryland Hunters
if you go over to www.bowsite.com and click on State forums and then click on Maryland there is a thread there called "205" one of posters has a link to a picture of the buck.
yes, it was taken in Kent County.

Wow! That's one hell of a buck.
I shot a nice sika stag Saturday at 11:45, passed up a few whitetauil does in the evening.
Not many bucks killed in my group, lots of big does, though. No rutting activity to speak of. Anyone else experience that mini-hurricane on the Eastern Shore? Blew one fella right out of the tree on one of our properties. Nasty storm for a few minutes.
