RE: Wetern Md Hunters
I've been hunting GR for about 35 years. I've killed 1 decent 8 point... I'm guessing 3.5 years old
99.9% of the deer I kill up there are 18 month old. Spikes, fork horns and does... If you are looking for a "HAMMER" buck... Green ridge STATE forest is not the place... You might want to startlearning words like scrub, inbread,cow horn and yearling!!!
You cant wipe the words G2 and G3 out of you vocabulary

As much as I would suffer too...I think the best thing to do is to institute QDM in MD. No bucks with less than a 15 inch spread. It would take a couple years but that would get all areas up to growing trophies. My opinion.

LOL, some funny posts there albeit very true. I TOTALLY agree with making Greenridge BOW ONLY. Maybe for a couple years and see how it goes.
Funny thing; Have you ever seen theWoods and Watermagazine? They had an article published last year that said there were huge bucks in GR state forest. Is that false marketing or what??
Yes, I think all the baltiimore hunters hit GR big time come gun season. I used to work in Baltimore and everybody I knew who gun hunted spent a week's long vacation in GR for the opening week of gun season.
Yes, scrubs is a good word for bucks up there. Maybe some antler restrictions might help.

I've hunted Greenridge off and on the last 10 or so years and I agree that place has potential for nice bucks, but the area is hunted hard and winters can be tough. Our group has only harvested does and a few small bucks. Archery only would make that place a goldmine.
