Yes if you can get permission to hunt somewhere:(

RE: Maryland, Deer Confused?

I watched two bucks fight for nearly 20 minutes 5 days ago. They were scent checking the does when they took a breather. One of them was a VERY WIDE 6 point. He was 3-4" past his ears on both sides and I had over an hour and a half to look at him. He never got closer than 50 yards.

but he might today . . . ;)

BTW-I did harvest another doe on Saturday. She was pregnant -- I still have the proof.

fond memories of hunting OLNEY,MD in 1970s..

i took many a big buck, 1 was 13 point with 24 inch spread,all on privateland in archery..
i saw over 100 deer in field i hunted in one evening..
25 werebucks andhuge horns.

i dont have any relatives there now,is hunting still good in montgomery county?

Olney is over-abundant with deer. If you can hunt anywhere there with a bow you will be slamming some deer. There are still some nice racks there on a regular basis. To this day, a buddy of mine saw the largest buck he has ever seen right there near Trotters Glen Golf Course.
