RE: Frederick Watershed
GTop,
You have to go up there and scout the area. If, like most hunters, you only go 100 yards, or less, from the road you won't see many deer. If you are fit enough to get farther in you can find plenty of deer. There is no magic formula, it's public land and gets lots of use. You can find deer there but don't expect to saunter in on a fire trail and have a big buck step out in front of you. I know it does happen, but once firearms season comes in they are spooky.
Good luck
