I was in the woods today a lunch time working on a ground blind when I saw three bucks chasing a doe through the thickets. That's where I will be tomorrow moring...rain or no rain!

I nailed a 9 point 155lb 140 class whitetail 2 weeks ago, and the rut was in full swing in southern maryland (lexington park). I have not been out since ,but all my buddys last week had deer running allover and coming to the can (primos) but since saturday they have seen nothing, not 1 single deer, so I think it is off for now but they should be running around saturday after all the gun hunters take to the woods.

Jevan, great buck! I saw two bucks running a doe yesterday but I am not seeing lone bucks trolling like they were 1-2 weeks ago. Like you said, Saturday should have them moving. Sounds like the ground might even be white! Hot dog!

Jevan, did you put a tape to that buck? Doesn't look like a 140 class to me, but maybe it's the picture. No offense, still a great deer.

6 point, I did not but a buddy who scores deer said the prelim might be off by 5+ or - he did it pretty quick not much time. the inside was 17 1/2 and 14inches tall the longest tine was 10inches, it lookes pretty small to me in the pict but I weight 235lbs

RE: Rut winding down in MD?
Maybe the bucks in the area I hunt are gay!<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> I have yet to see any positive response to "the can." Last week I finally saw a few 8 points in the evening. Most showed little interest in the does that were in the field with them. NONE cared about the can. I finally settled on a large doe at the absolute last minute of shooting light. She went 40 yards and was number 3 for the year. I just picked up a new place to hunt that I'm going to try tomorrow afternoon on the gun opener. Ordinarily that's not a good time to start, but this area has incredible potential.
