Just saw another at 10:15 PM. I guess getting ready to bed. It was an 8 point buck, just came strutting into my yard as my 8 week old lab was using the bathroom.

RE: MD Deer count
On average every time I have been out I have seen 20 plus deer. Mostly does and fawns but have seen a couple of spikes and 1 4 point, on the base I have seen 30 plus each time out a lot of does and fawns but seen some big bucks 8 points and a coupl eof 10 points plus a bunch of little bucks.
I've seen more deer on my place than my usual best spots. Most recently, last night I saw 3 does in my woodlot and this morning had a nice 8 point work around me for over a half an hour. He'd have been hanging in my garge if I had remembered to wear my contacts.
Then I'd have seen the dang thin branches that shielded what I thought was a wide open vital zone at 25 -30 yards.
