Just have to vent a little bit fellas & ladies!!! I hunt on the eastern shore of Maryland.

And I don't know if this happens to any of you but, I am tired of hearing slug guns firing left and right when gun season isn't even in yet. During youth day fine. If you have crop damage permits fine. But, for the amount of shooting I hear... there would have to be one hell of an amount of crop damage permits.

I have had 4 bucks this year come within range of me only to be hindered by limbs due to the fact I am using a crossbow. They all could of been downed with a gun at any point. So all of those opponents to MD passing the crossbow rule this year... apparently we have bigger fish to fry. How about attacking the hunters who don't even bother to follow the game laws first!!!! I am not a hunter who shoots anything that walks in front of him... my choice here. Yesterday while I was letting a 9 Pt I have been hunting all season walk due to a poor shot with a crossbow, I hear 2 slugs go off across the road from where I hunt. Enough to drive you nuts.

I am raising 2 young boys and they ask me all the time who could be shooting daddy!!! There is something to be said for the hunter who puts his time, money, & effort into making the most of his hunting property and doing things according to the law!!!!!

I am not a person who rats on other hunters to DNR.. guess I'll just have to deal with it. Thanks for letting me rant though!!!!
