That to me is more impressive than any other you could ever find What an eye
Amazing!! My dog found a button for me a few years ago and it got me thinking how nearly impossible it would be to find one. Care to tell us how on earth you noticed it?!!!!Found a giant.View attachment 82078
It was in a washed out spot where water had washed away all the leaves and debris. It was straight dirt. I happened to be crossing the washout there.Amazing!!

At 30 deer per square mile there’s plenty to share. I wonder: do cars kill more deer in MD than hunters!There are no good deer in Maryland, remember! Shhhh lol
They certainly kill more than THIS hunter lolAt 30 deer per square mile there’s plenty to share. I wonder: do cars kill more deer in MD than hunters!
Haha! I've given up beating that drum. The last 2 years have been brutal with the amount of people in the woods. Everyone says it's a good thing, but I can see personally it's taken a major impact on my local deer herd. With less deer, will come with less hunters over time. The deer will bounce back. Just 3 years ago the hunting was easily twice as good as its now. Time to adapt.There are no good deer in Maryland, remember! Shhhh lol
Just from my personal observation, road kills seen where way down. Usually during rut you get a big influx, but I just didn't see it. However the most road kill seen this year for me was between January and February the last 2 years. Kind of strange. I think MD is around 100,000. Hunter kills each year for whole state.At 30 deer per square mile there’s plenty to share. I wonder: do cars kill more deer in MD than hunters!
My concern in places like Maryland is that increased hunter numbers results in deer being pushed into places like suburbia where hunter access is limited. Statewide deer population won’t decrease proportionate to hunter numbers increase and hunting public land will get increasingly challenging. Adaptation may mean knocking on doors and hunting on the edge of backyards.Haha! I've given up beating that drum. The last 2 years have been brutal with the amount of people in the woods.

Shed hunt until 9:30-10 when the gobbler leaves his hens and gets stupid.Been walking a lot myself and most are still carrying both antlers according to cams. My issue is they shut down walking on April 1 for turkey season and for the life of me, I can't get myself to focus on shed antlers when I'm turkey hunting.
