Default RE: Out of season deer hunting

Huntin in Maryland in the early season like that you have to worry about chiggers and lime ticks. I harvested 6 last summer on crop kills and got tor up by mosqiutos and black flies but thats huntin.I killed five does last year and three had fawns inside. Its not to bad, but it is all meat, just wash the meat off really good after butcherin and I keep a cooler full of ice to chill it fast. I shot one I thought was a doe but had a horn come out the head 1/2 inch than around the ear and back into the head so it was probally a good cull buck anyway. That is the only hard part of real early season huntin, some six month old buck might not have anything out the head that early so you got to wait til you got a good look before you regret it. Watch out for snakes to, they love that old seat cushion in tree stands, I found a baby copperhead in mine.
