Coolerpup did you ever try Trappe Pond for deer hunting. A lot of deer there. I hunt near Milton, Jeffersons crossroads . Also hunt East of Smyrna across road from Bombay Hook, got a 10pt there once.

hunted last night and a lost HOUND ruined my hunt....there r still persimmons in some trees...that's odd./...the weather has been 2 warm. i will b at it again wed..morning...what r the deer eating???

Opening Day of Black powder in Delaware I got a sun tan for my efforts..shotgun was not much better....My buds got out more than I did....most of there deer were killed in the evening...But one 10 point that a bud got ( real close to the university of delaware) was killed at 1:00 pm in the afternoon

RonM, Cant say that I have. i went and picked up my permit this year but never made it over there. Maybe next season I will get a chanceto scout it out before the season begins.
I used to hunt Blackbird all the time when I lived in Newark. I also spent alot of time hunting the C&D Canal, boy was that hard at times.

Coolerpup I live in Blackbird but never hunted the forest. Always hunted pr property For yeas I hunted in Odessa on the NB sidewdhere that gas station is all the way to the creek about 400 cres. Lots of deer in there. Rt 1 cuts thru it now.... Should be lots of deer in that Laurel area. Big deer up in that Farmington area, good luck,,,

i am hunting the C&d canal area and st augustine. what was tough about it for u?? i find it quite easy...i have put a serious pattern on the deer there...and i have used shot from SPACE to look around the area. the deer r tough at times...but there r some really nice animals in the area. the swamp hides the monsters

i am hunting wednesday ...all day if i have to. i will keep u posted...i found a secluded fresh water hole. there is some food around because there r droppings with persimmons in them. i also came across a tree that was really GREEN and a little thorny...it had red little cranberry looking things on it....there were tracks all around it...what the hell is it.

RonM,
My wife says Clyde is a BIG hunter.Hard to believe!I went to a remote area in PA last year,lots of Deer,we have bigger deer in De.More food and hiding places per SQ mile.

Story Time;(True)Was at Trappe Pond about 10 yrs ago,(August)fishing in head waters,when a 10 point buck jumped in lake and swam towards me.Got about 30yrds away before he smelled a "hunter" and turned around and swam back to shore.

Another Story;(Also True).Friend of mine,lives in Townsend,went hunting on his property,1st day of shotgun.Stayed in stand smokin cigs,(no food,just cigs) - all day.I had turned him onto puttin some apples out around area.He watched deer all day eat on apples,does,small bucks etc.Last 30 minutes of day,large buck walked out,thrashed all the trees and bushes in site.He shot it twice before going down.It was 22" spread,dressed at 210+-.

Lucky Bum!

Coolerpup,

Hey lemond33, that's a holly tree. I got one in my back yard. I'll be bowhunting on Wed. back in a marsh on Blackiston. Got a nice 8 point there the 1st Sat. of shotgun.

ok..i saw them this evening...at 5:10pm...they were in a green field off of rt 1...near the st georges bridge there were 10-15 deer in the field...that is a good sign
