West Ocean City, Maryland...been duck hunting , so i didn't fool with the sika...i pulled into the parking lot ( ramp ) at Taylor's island ( blackwater )..opened the truck door..and they were all over me.. bad..once we left the ramp, they weren't so bad in the marsh..went to walmart a bought 2 more cans of off..can't wait for the 1st frost...Blackwater is a bad place to hunt by yourself..getting stuck..falling ..bad news

Gotcha WOC  Grin


I been hunting southern Maryland in Charles County close to the marsh for whitetails a couple days this week and have wacked 3 already , but today I was getting that same old buzzing sound in me ear while up a tree and my Thermacell was in the truck  Cry

I'll be pulling out of here about 1AM to head to the eastern shore of Maryland and the Blackwater NWR for the first day of the gun hunt !

Instead of my Savage 10ML-II I'll be carrying the NEW Savage 220F with a LEupold Vari XII 3-9 on top and loaded with the Remington AccuTip shells ! I'll also have my Savage 210F equipped the same in my truck as  back up gun .

The main objective of this hunt is "have a good safe time" , the second main objective is a 6 point Sika Stag !
But the spot I have for monday has a good chance of producing a really nice whitetail buck as well !

So we shall see what I get or if I get anything at all !

Pictures will follow regardless of the outcome  Grin

Good luck, I have always wanted to hunt those pretty little deer, when I was stationed in Virginia I never got drawn and didn't know about the Maryland ones!

It's an "addiction" I've been blessed with for the past 20 years   Wink

And hopefully there's no cure in sight  Grin

That is some serious messy terrain. My hats off to you for slogging through that stuff!

EF where I was at monday was nowhere near as bad as where I was for the early ML season !









Got up the tree and situated at 5:30 Am first legal shooting was at 6:40Am so I took a nap for an hour !

Sat in that tree 10 straight hours before I saw a deer and it wasn't a Sika deer but a couple whitetails !

Since I had been there I decided what the heck and shot a doe at 120 yards with the Savage 220F and the Remington AccuTip ammo ! Deer was hit thru the lungs and went maybe 20 yards before falling over dead !

plus 1. 

Now that's a Little more hospitable looking terrain.

 How's that slug gun handle? I'll be needing one of them sometime soon I think. The venerable old 835 is really more gun than I want to carry anymore.

I've had a Savage 210F for about 10 years now and it handles pretty well !

But this little 220F is like a featherweight beside the 210F . It actually feels like a couple of my bolt action rifles !
