A fellow in the hunting club I belong to hunts in MD.. He says the number of deer is incredible, but no public land to speak of. He hunts on his daughters property. He says Maryland is'nt too gun friendly either. How do the racks run in size? Usually high densities mean small racks, but not always. Deer hunting in Adak. is tough due to the remote and mountainous terrain and tough winters. We still have three feet of snow on the ground and most years it stays till April.Last year we had a major snow storm in May. Makes it hard for the deer to winter through. Buck to doe ratios are good, you just don't see many. Adak is a good place to kill a wall-hanger if it does'nt get to you, going days without seeing deer. This past season was a record breaker for black bear. Seems like we have more bear and coyotes than deer most years.
Take care. By the way, I agree, we yanks are a funny bunch
