Doe Down

Been seeing a ton of deer here in southern Maryland and the rut will be in full swing here in the next few days. I'm hunting hard and putting a ton of time in the stand. I have had allot of bucks in bow range but nothing that meets my standards of a shooter. It takes allot of discipline and patience to pass on these smaller bucks but I'm willing to go the entire deer season without shooting a buck, just to have a chance to kill a big mature buck. I did harvest a nice doe for the freezer and she will be some good eats on my grill.

Hunting With Friends

Did some bow hunting over the weekend at my Charles County property with my buddy Andy, Brandon and his wife Corinne and we had a great morning in the stand. Andy got a great 8 pointer and Corinne put the smackdown!! on a nice doe with her pink Hoyt Bow. Had a great time in the field with some true hunting friends.

Maryland Early 3 Day Muzzle Loader Season

Definitely a slow early muzzle loader season for me hunting in Maryland. I saw plenty of deer, mostly doe and a few small bucks but nothing I wanted to kill. What was great is that my buddy Andy Fox brought his son Dylan (7 years old mind you) out to the property and I put them in a great stand location. Well luck was on Dylan's side as he harvested a 5 point buck for a great first deer and what a smile he had on his face. Definitely one of my best hunts ever and this kid made a great shot on a fine buck.

Doe Down

Took a nice doe last week with my crossbow and she will be some good eats. Seeing allot of quality bucks during my hunts just no shot opportunity yet. I have also been going after a monster stag at my eastern shore lease and have been very close to sealing the deal with him.

Sika Hind Down

The deer hunting since opening day has been I would say OK but not great. Passed on a great 130" ++ whitetail on the opening morning in hope of taking a bigger buck on my PG county property, I don't regret this decision as I have 150" and better bucks on the property. Been seeing allot of doe's and have passed on them as it is early in the season. I did harvest a Sika Hind on my Maryland eastern shore lease and what great eating these Sika are. With the cooler weather on the way it is only a matter of time before I put the smackdown on a nice Whitetail buck or Sika stag.

Last Camera Check

Only one week to go until opening day of the Maryland 2010 deer season and I am ready to go. Did a final trail camera check at my properties and big boys are still around. Hope to kill one of these great bucks on opening day.

Getting Close

Well the start of the Maryland 2010 Deer season is only 3 weeks away and I am starting to get ramped up for opening day on the 15th of September. Been busy down at my eastern shore property, hanging additional stands, putting out feeders and trail cameras. Got some nice trail cam pics of some sika hinds and really feel this is the year I harvest a 6 point or better stag. My Charles/PG county properties are loaded with big bucks and getting daily trail camera pictures of some big whitetails. I am definitely prepared with my equipment, stand locations and mental preparation and this is going to be one great year of deer hunting for me.
