Almost pulled off the perfect hit on this guy. I had a chance to blast him back in 2020 during gun but had to pack it in early to take the kid to sports and have only caught glimpses of him since then including an encounter during the 2022 rut while walking my dog. He was out of his goddamn mind...
Nothing but resident button buck and 4 ptr i previously pardoned. Someone drove a large doe herd over from the farm across the street but not in range. Most shooting i’ve heard in a while.
Used wife’s old honda pilot as the war wagon for years before i got a proper hunting truck. Put a tarp in back and you are g2g. It will smell like a dead hooker for a few days afterwards though.
Very quiet opener. Have heard more shooting on rainy ones. Passed on some small bucks and some does came in - in front of horses so no shooting there. Congrats to all that got it done.
Sat out on my deck. Not planning on adding my stink to the woods until afternoon. Not a single shot. They were moving under that moon all night though.
He finished and got to the exemptions google form that says : we will get to it in 4 to 6 weeks. One would assume you would still be g2g if you did this and then in compass upload all the docs. But this is maryland.
Doh. missed that part. Friend is coming over for opening day and was trying to see if the old tx loophole is still a thing. Has a conceal carry. The online thing if I recall is pretty common sense to anyone who can read and who has already obtained a carry permit. And of course there is this...
You are exempt from the hunter saftey requirement if you have a Md carry permit. So if you are a newly minted carrier - go get that license and blast some bambis!

Never thought about trying it. But the tests I've read of it have me on the skeptical side of it being worth the money. And it's not cheap.

I think it’s just instinct and the individual deer. They are always on high alert and we all under estimate how much we stink to them. Unless you are hermetically sealed your scent is out there. No scent lok,boot spray or ozone is going to do anything other then reduce things a tiny bit to an...
Mountain lions. White tail migrated here about 4 million years ago. Just imagine the kind of crap that was killing them back then. We are only a recent blip on their radar. They don't have generational learning where the deer gather around and discuss tree stands. It's all instinct.
They have spent 4 million years being preyed on by things in trees. They didn’t just get here and learn from us. Prob smelled you but gave up on iding you.
Make sure whatever thermal you put on there is supported for xbow. The recoil is reversed. Atn is the only nv/thermal i’m aware of that warrants/supports running on an xbow. Tried mounting an older pulsar nv scope on sz 380 and it would actually shut off when firing.
This always happens after I decide -"I've burned this spot out" or the wind is not right at a spot. Then I look at the cams and it's usually some pope and young class buck posing at my other stand location.
Someone's 15 year old scored. First gun shot I've heard all season. Congrats to whomever took one down. Heard no shots the entire muzzle loader season other than empty the gun oclock. Def been a slow year. Normally it's cannon fire all weekend that first weekend of muzzle.
