Sounds like your in the right neighborhood. Do you have acorns or is corn the only feed?

I checked my camera last night ,one picture in a week. [:'(]

Jim that general area..Is off a bedding area..I set up 125 yards from it. Once the deer leave the beds,the Corn is the first stop then down the line to the beans (same field) and then probably off to either another 55 acres of corn or the Oaks..I'm betting the oaks..I can't hunt that area. (ok I can hunt a small parcel that they cut through) Which I'm saving for chase time.

Based on camera evidence I know of 8 bucks that use the bedding area. None are jaw-droppers..But hopefully a big guy will come in to kick butt.. There is a rumored GIANT that patrols the area. I have not seen him but the farmer and a good friend who live on the same road..tell me the tales. The stories are priceless.."he avoids the corn cuz his rack is too wide to fit in the rows"..I know could be BS..if not for the fact that his Daughter told me she's seen him and it's the biggest buck she has EVER seen..Her I believe.

Firemed, try going to Federal Hill, great places there like Cross Street Market for seafood, or McGirks for grill stuff.
You are welcome to hunt with me if you like bud while your in town,just get yourself a license and c'mon. I work until 2 or 3PM and usually get home around 3 or 4PM, I cant hunt this Saturday, and we are not allowed to hunt Sundays in MD, butI should be able to make it out akmost every weekday eveing. Im going to check out my second property tonight to see if I see any more deer activity as my big property is just absolutely dead right now, maybe because its almost 90 everyday, my creek is bone dry, and I have a feeling most of the deer have just up and left and are staying closer to a water supply.

Just checking in guys. Today was my first day out. It was a busy morning and I saw 12 does and 4 bucks. I also pulled up the bow on one of them, which was about a 100-110" buck with split brows. The others ranged from about 40"-80". I got to see two of those bucks do some sparring about 8 yards from me. It was intense. At the same time 5 does were about 40 yards to my left and those bucks were about 8 yards to my right and they wouldn't leave. I couldn't move for about a whole hour. Then after they finally leave, the smallest of the four bucks I saw came in and decided to bed down next to me. Eventually I had to get down and just moved and he saw me. He must not have been able to make out what I was because he just stood, stared and walked away.

However, tonight was a different story and I didn't see a single deer. Oh well. I will be going back out Friday. Hopefully I have some good luck and I hope you guys do to.

Well, I went to my back up property today accross the street from my house. Saw 30+ deer feeding on acorns from 5PM until dark and were all around me. I had a 130 class 10 pt come by me at 40 yards,but a 150-160 class symetrical 12 pt bruiser that had to weigh 200+ was behind him and a few yards further away or I would have tried to get a shot at the 130 class buck. I watched them for 40 minutes feeding through the hardwoods, my heart sank as they walked further away. Was a GREAT evening. Hopefully I will get some more opportunities at the big boy. Im going to have nightmares about this big buck. Im going to stay out of there tomorrow and do some practice shooting and go back Friday.

After 41 weeks and 13hrs of labor here is the new member of the family. She would kill me if she knewI posted a picture of her after all that so not a word ;)

RE: 10 - Official Team Germ Warfare Thread
 

haha thats great MM!! Pretty crazy when you sit back and look at what you created isnt it?? Mom looks great, and the little man looks cute as bug in a rug, congrats again bud, thats fantastic!!!

RE: 10 - Official Team Germ Warfare Thread
 

Im not 100% sure but I think this may be theslob I saw tonight. This pic was from 2 years ago and was about 40 yards from where my stand was tonight. I am trying to find pics of him from last year,or ones I think was him where he was abig 10. Never saw him many times in daylight, but I dont hunt this property that much either, I often ask myself why lol. I do about 10% of my hunting on this property and it has lots of decent bucks, and its litterally right across the street. Im going to start putting more time in here especially after the amount of activity I saw tonight compared to my bigger property the last 2 weeks.

First off Amazing Mantis..Babies are simply unbelievable..and it gets more fun everyday. I agree Mom looks great..glowing with the love of motherhood! Congrats again.

Diesel sounds like quite the night..and a few bruiser bucks to boot..I can't wait till I pass on the 130 because I see a bigger one behind. But in that situation you just have to hold out!

Vogt you sound like you got some action happening too. Can't wait till we get one on the score sheet.

It's only a matter of time...I didn't hunt yesterday. I had to pick up some broadheads..(I lost one and destroyed 1 in practice) and I had to fletch some arrows..put on some 2" blazers with 8 degree helical, man are they flying awesome! I did drive down the road near my honey hole at dark and we saw 2 deer of unknown gender.

Plan to get out tonight..still planning strategy..have to check weather (hot [:'(]) and wind direction and start planning. I can't wait to check out that new area ya'll helped me with, this weekend, even though again they are calling for mid 80's..[:@]
