RE: MD public land after opening day
I have seen some big bucks over there on the shore. But never really got a shot at any of the big ones. i did manage to bag a 6pt. last year that weighed in at 160lbs. It rain and snowed all day. Finally about 4pm it stopped and the clouds moved out. just before last light this 6pt walked right up on me. I am a ground hunter and this buck was within 12-15 yrds from me looking right at me. my gun was leaning against the tree and i dared not reach for it. he looked at me then turned and started walking across this stream. i grabbed my gun while he was walking away from me. He stopped on the other side of the stream and looked at me again. He was about 50-60 yrds away when i finally got my shot. Then i had to wade acroos that ice cold stream with the water up to my crotch to retreive him. i never noticed how cold i was till i got him back to the truck and was turning on some heat.
I love it over there. just to get out and soak up the scenery.
