I' m selfish....
So I' m sitting in my tree... deer everywhere. I had them pass by me in 3 directions all morning. Had a couple bed right close by. All was at peace in the forrest.[:-] THis one little 5 point went by me twice. Both times he' s just worrying the devil out of this one doe and she isn' t having any of it. I figure they' re good lure for " THE BIG ONE" . Yeah, right... whatever.
So what' s selfish about that you ask? Well, Len and I were at opposite ends of this 300 acre parcel. We' d agreed to come out around 9 or 9:30. So Len calls and says, where are you. " I' m in a tree watching deer right now about 50 yards away" . Len, " well I shot two" . Me,... " errrr ...ahhhh e....eerrrrr.... you don' t need any help...do YOU!!!! Congrats for to you." Len, " OK, I can handle it" . Me: " ok, I' m going to sit until about 10:00?" [&o] So I sat in the tree while Len grunted and groaned. I know it was selfish, but Gee whilikers... there were deer all around.[&:][8D]
So don' t feel sorry for Len to much. He didn' t have to grunt too hard.(if you get my meaning) In fact... maybe not at all. That' s #12 and #13 for him this year with the bow. I saw 12... he saw 13. I wonder how many deer there are in that woods? Well, there are 2 less. Nice to see a little chasing going on.

RE: I' m selfish....
We can shoot unlimited does in our zone with the bow. Lens doing all the dragging because he' s been doing all the hunting. I let a bunch walk... today anyone of 6 or 8 were dead meat. I was looking for something special. Len was thinning the herd. Lens on a mission this year.... catch up to my total. I' m on a mission this year...... not to work so hard at guttin, draggin, skinnin and cuttin. We have 4 landlords that say kill... kill .....KILL, Len took them seriously. I don' t have to shoot as Len and his boy will thin them out for me.[:-] If I see a big doe and she just stands there and tempts me... I shoot. Although, this morning I let 2 of the nicest ones I' ve seen walk buy to see if something bigger were following the 5 point.

Most of it gets put to good use. I donate 3 or 4 every year. I know Len didn' t eat 20 deer last year, but they didn' t go to waste. Hunters for the Hungry will take all you bring them.

Way to go David and Len. Keep them land owners happy.
JD, The 6 counties in the middle of MD have no limit on does. And no daily limit. That goes for bow season 4 1/2 months long, shotgun and muzzleloader.
Montgomery county leads the state with over 2000 (two thousand) deer ROADKILLS each year for the last 3 years.
