Frederick Watershed Deer
did anyone besides me hunt the 'shed this year? Seems like it wasnt hunted as hard this past season. Lots of bangs on opening day but the rest of the 2 week season was quieter than usual.

I hunted the shed for about 3 years. On the final year the thing that stopped me was my father and I were walking a brush thicket on the way back to the truck. There were 3 guys up ahead of us and we kicked up 3 does, they started unloading on them sending bullets past us, the cars parked on the access road and over the access road. They did not care where their bullets went or what was behind what they were shooting at. We vowed never to hunt there again, sad too because I live like 20 min from there.

Gotta love some of the so called "hunters" on public land. My biggest fear is some fool shooting my direction. Where I hunt up there, it takes me over an hour to walk in. Its like having private land. I dont see anybody else that far back. Great place to hunt if you're willing to put some effort into it.

RE: Frederick Watershed Deer
I have often thought about hunting the watershed but everytime I mention the place to someone I hear a horor story like Mossy's. That has kept me far away from the place. Maybe one of these yearsI will venture in there with my bow and do some hunting, but I doubt you will ever see me in there during a gun season. I live20 minutes from the place and have never stepped foot in those woods.

Yeah, the watershed gets scary during gun season. I hunted there a couple of times my first year. I never heard just one shot at a time, usually 4 or 5 in a row. Either there are some monster deer that take than many shots to put down, or else a lot of lead flying through the woods.

RE: Frederick Watershed Deer
walk more than a half mile from the parking areas. I guarantee you wont run into any other hunters. Works great...dont have to worry about getting shot, plus all the deer get pushed your way
