Last Camera Pull

Well did my last camera pull yesterday and the big boys are still coming in and I have then pretty much patterned for the start of opening day. I am so ready to make it happen on a big mature buck and I know all my hard work in the off season will pay off. Some final pics and good luck to everyone hunting tomorrow on opening day for the 2011 deer season in Maryland.

Almost Time

Well it's only a little over a week to go until the 2011 Maryland bow season for deer will start. I have been scouting all year and have some great stand sites established on several properties both in Southern MD and on the Eastern Shore of MD. I have been preparing all spring/summer and have really worked hard setting stands, clearing shooting lanes/brush and putting out multiple trail cams to hopefully pattern the deer movements. I have no doubt I am ready for opening day and have done everything possible to put the odds in my favor to harvest a big mature whitetail buck. I will check my cams one more time at the end of the this week and then it will be killing time on Sept 15th opening day. Here are a few more recent trail cam pics.

Looking Good

Well the start of the 2011 Maryland deer season is less than two months away and I have several mature bucks on my properties. I already have a hit list going of some really nice bucks I hope to harvest this year and by the looks of my recent trail cam pics it's going to be a great deer season for me, let's hope so.

Getting Bigger!!

The bucks on my property are really growing some impressive head gear and starting to put the tine length and mass on.

Big Boys Are Back!!

Well I have started my scouting for the 2011 deer season and man I am so excited that Freak Nasty and the Big 8 have survived another season and are showing up on my trail cam pics. These are two monster Maryland bucks and no doubt I will have some memorable encounters with them this fall.

Stripers on the Bay

Me and the wife did a little striped bass fishing on the Chesapeake bay with my good buddy Mike Riley. Well we both caught stripers and as usual my wife catches the biggest one. That's two years in a row she has caught the biggest striper and what a great time we had fishing together.

Team Buckwild puts the Smackdown!! on a big Tom Turkey

Just an awesome hunt Saturday guys and definitely exciting. I took my buddy Rich (Team Buckwild) out for a turkey hunt at my Charles county property and we got it done. Got set up at 05:45 and right away had three toms within 100 yards of our set up gobbling on the roost. They flew down at 06:15 and I started calling with some very soft yelps and I got a bird gobbling his head off and coming in fast. One more soft yelp and I shut up and here he comes into view on the left side of our set up. I tell Rich to slowly move to his left and the bird is behind some thick brush about 50 yards out. Rich moves and I work the bird for another 5 minutes with some purrs and clucks. This bird is fired up and thunder gobbling, spitting and drumming and putting on one hell of a show for us. Well he finally can't stand it and my calling is driving him nuts so he comes in at full strut to 35 yards and I tell Rich to take him and Rich just hammers this bird down to the ground. What a freaking awesome hunt and it's only 06:30 and we have a big mature tom down baby. Well after some serious celebrating and a ton of pictures we tag him up and head back to the truck. This is Rich's first turkey and what a hell of a nice bird, 20 pounds, 10 inch beard and 3/4 inch spurs. He is having this great tom full body mounted and man what a awesome time in the woods today.
