RE: MD Hunt Final Preperation
I have hunted a fair amount at Monocacy. I have a GPS, RADIO, AND Climber and a real good idea of where to hunt it. The question I have is, with all of these people going, won't you all be setting on top of one another? I have seen monster bucks in the area but have never been able to get a shot at one. Good luck hunting it. Since I have not hunted this area in awhilr, is it a bow only area now?

seriously though, I have seen alot of the guys that post in this topic, and they all seem to be good people, Im sure nobody will complain about being close to somebody else, In fact I've hunted 50 yrds from another guy and it just made it that much easier, he saw deer coming toward me and radioed me way before I even saw them. Im sure we will all just enjoy the day, and enjoy getting to meet everybody!!!!

I have hunted close before to. It is OK as long as everyone is considerate of each other. If you have a topo you could kind of pre-plan areas to hunt. That away no one area is overlooked. It sounds like plenty of preparation is being taken so I am sure you will all have a good time.
Good luck hunting

Monocacy is listed at 1800 acres, if 10 people go thats 180 acres per man. I dont think we will be to close together, there is plenty of room to spread out. I can come up for some scouting this weekend, I can prob swing it on either Sat or Sun evening.

RE: MD Hunt Final Preperation
Does anyone have directions on how to get there exactly. I will be coming from Lancaster Pa so I will be using I-83 south into Maryland, but there are so many Monocacy's on mapquest I'm not sure which one it is.

RE: MD Hunt Final Preperation
If you come down 83 you have to get on 695 to rt70 which takes you right into Frederick, it may be quicker to take rt 30 into Gettysburg and then take rt 15 down. Here is the mapquest link directly to the hunting area, the parking lot is right where it says Furnace Ford in the middle of the map. If you have more questions send me a PM and I give you more details.

RE: MD Hunt Final Preperation
Mossy, I already sent you a pm but that sounds like a good idea. So what is the final word on the scout trip so I know if I can make it or not. Saturday is out for me because of a family reunion.
