Anyone heading out in the morning? With the way the winds are blowing right now, I am going to make it a morning decision. I'm taking the bow and hunting my new lock-on location in hopes that I catch something in the morning. As long as the wind isn't blowing too hard, I will be out before first light! Good luck to all that go out!
**900AM EDIT** Okay then, apparently in the middle of the night I hit the "radio" button on my alarm, leaving only a slight "static" sound emitting from the speakers. When my Dad called me at 5AM to tell me that he wasn't going due to a headache, I noticed that my alarm didn't wake me at 430A like I had expected. [:@] I wouldn't have gotten into the woods until after first light and I hate doing that. Looks like I got screwed out of today, but I'll just have to take off work early during the week.

Didn't see squat today myself. Oh well I got my button buck last weekend and am eating deer chilli tonight. 
There is always the January 2 day season. I always liked that season.

I tell you what, Friday morning would have been the time to be in the woods. With that front moving in, I saw a ton of deer on my way to work 
, including a pig of a buck. It's funny how they move when the barometer's rising or falling.

RE: MD Shotgun Success Post Them Here!!!
I finally got out this morning for MD firearm season, shotgun only in my area. A lot of guys in the woods this morning, had a tough time finding a tree to climb that wasn't on top of someone else.
Around 10:15am heard a shot nearby, then about 15 minutes later this doe, gut shot, walks towards my stand. She was moving pretty good, but obviously a dead deer walking. I was able to put her down quickly.
I waited for a while, butI saw no one trying to track her. Dressed she weighed 126 lb., not to bad for this area. This is my 3rd deer ever, first doe.

Hey Rick have you ever hunted off of Browns Church Rd in the Damascus/Mt Airy area of Patuxant River St Park? You look like a guy I saw out there once.

RE: MD Shotgun Success Post Them Here!!!
Great job putting down a deer that would have been wasted. Good size, too. I have never shot a doe that big. Would you mind mentioning the general area you were hunting? I am curious if it came off the watershed or Monocacy NR area.
