Yearly MD Shotgun Season Thread

Who's starting to get excited for it? I like bow season but until I'm really successful in it I rely on the gun seasons to fill my freezer. Who's getting excited? T minus 3 days.

No excitement here over any gun season. I will be out with the bow in NE Md.

Well poo poo to you too.

I understand why though. Gun season is the reason I don't go out with a bow after all the gun seasons are over. I'd only go out in bow only areas after gun season.

Same here, opening of "gun" season lost the thrill after I started bow hunting a few years back, My property borders a WMA and the deer trickle off the WMA all morning, "Boom-Flop".
But What I have learned to enjoy about opening day is "setting up" a youth or 1st time hunter and now My kids are getting old enough to go.

Didn't you know that while talking on the walkie talkie the deer can't hear you? Also they can't hear you when BSing in the parking lot. Yeah, that is something I hate. I just stay away from all them and let them chase the deer to me.

Is this Sunday one of the Sunday hunts in Md?

bypasskiller · 11-26-2008, 08:26 PM

yes

HammytheHunter · 11-26-2008, 08:46 PM

Yes 11/30 is the Sunday open for firearms season in most counties that don't allow Sunday hunting. Hmmm... seeing as we can use bow during firearms season... does that mean we can use bow Sunday as well? I don't see why not, but thought I would get a consensus.

I will be out Thurs morning and all day Friday with my bow. As for Saturday/Sunday.... I am thinking that I will take my bow and sit on the far end of the property I hunt so that the orange army pushes them right to me.

Happy Thanksgiving Fellas.

ok , since the only land i have been hunting all year is public and bow only the gun season only helps push the deer on that piece of land,
so i cant wait to bowhunt there wed or thursday of this week after the big push,

also i am pumped about opening day of gun i got picked to hunt in a lotery area in montgomery co , only 25 guys got picked to be there in sat. so for that im pretty pumped ,
