You can't shoot one in MD according to the regs. Although I doubt I would anyway. This is my first year hunting and I've been fortunate enough to shoot 2 deer. However, the highlight would have to be the 4 seperate bear we ran into in two days of hunting in PA. Two of which were within 20 yards, one of them was within 25 feet. It was a mix of terror and delight. I told by hunting partners that I didn't need to shoot a deer to call that trip a success. Of course shooting a buck on top of that made the day even more special.
