MD Opening Day Results!!!
Nope I didn't go out. I need to practice with the bow just a little bit more. Looks like a windy morning. I wouldn't have wanted to be in my treestand on a morning like this. On the other hand the temps dropped pretty good and were in the 50's and probably high 40's in some spots.
Anyone tag one today?

I was shooting at the range today at lake needwood and ran into a guy who was out this morning. He told me he missed a doe and a buck several times and was checking his rig to make sure everything was ok. This guy said he shot all of his arrows and had to wait until the deer left before he went to pick them up. He was all over the target at 20 yards even on the range. I suggested he practice a little more before he went back out to sling arrows at deer because it's only a matter of time until he wounds a few.

RE: MD Opening Day Results!!!
I got off work early and headed out to hunt, got there and when I pulled in I busted two deer, don't know if they were bucks or does, didn't have my head lights on just the running lights and I could see then 40 yards from the front of my truck. The sat in my ground blind till 9 and didn't see anything, the wind picking up and the rain from last night didn't help at all. Saw a total of 6 deer this morning.

Had a good day saw 7 deer, 1 big 10pt but no shot opportunities. I did connect on a big doe later inthe evening, she came in at 22 yards and offered me a slight quartering away shot. I smoked her and she piled up 50 yards from my tree. Good day to be in the woods and a great start to the 07 season.

I saw lots of deer but nothing over a 4 point. I went behind my house (12 acres at the back of a small neighboorhood) yesterday morning....got in a little late, 630, but the rain had stopped.....saw 2 does and 2 spikes, had shots but let them walk....only stayed till 900. Hunted an old horse farm in the afternoon and it was so windy I didn't think I would see anything but had about a dozen come right by my stand starting at 5 until I got down at 8......all does, fawns, or spikers except for the one 4 point....fawns are still in full spots and spikes in full velvet....had shots on all of them but let 'em walk. The first doe I saw in the afternoon was really big, had to be over 130 lbs, she was missing half her left ear. She had a fawn with her still in spots or I would have taken her.....she caught my scent where I had entered the tree line from the field to get to my stand and looked right at me but didn't bust me.

7 pt, 145 pounds in Dorchester county. This was the third buck I saw, first shooter, saw a bunch of does and fawns too...Not a bad way to start the season. I did get some good field photos and will post them when I get them downloaded.
