Kind of interested in this. Wished the county opened this up to hunters.
Nothing but button bucks and half racks on camera. Really want one more doe so I'll be out climbing a tree at 6:00am freezing my balls off. Just hope its not the same stupid button making his appearance with his brother and sister. I can only pardon what looks and behaves like a doe so many times.
Man, they get to shoot them at night. They should just allow "hunters" to spotlight in the problem counties and then the problem will be a lot less of a problem.
I remember all the crying and screaming when they planned to do this in Wheaton Regional Park. Might be the same park actually since it is MNCPPC.
This is on the Muddy Branch trail (MBT). Covers land from the Kentlands off of Rt 28 and goes all the way down to River Road. I saw these signs from QO Road to Esworthy so my presumption is it would also extend to Rt 28 and then down to River Road.
I mountain bike on the MBT and there is a metric F ton of deer in there. There are some absolute monster bucks along this trail. I wished they'd opened it up to lottery for hunters. This whole idea was being discussed on a local neigborhood forum and I thought it ironic that these signs were posted shortly thereafter the thread hit mentioning opening up the area to local hunters. My hope is that these deer are harvested and not actually tossed in a dump.

A question for you Buckologists.
Do antlers automatically grow bigger in size every year? Or can there be small years and big years for a buck?
Thanks.
Got any cameras out? They may have gone nocturnal and you just didnt know they were there all alongI'm a happy camper tonight. After a year without seeing many deer at all, I saw the largest bachelor group. 5 bucks, 2 spikes, what I believe was a 4 or 6 pointer, a 6 pointer and a 10 pointer. They were about 120 yards from my backdoor, so I could only see the racks with a scope I keep available. The good news. The definite 6 pointer and the 10 pointer were huge, heavy bodied deer. They came out at 5pm and the 10 pointer just crossed from one side of the opening to the other with only about a minute of grass eating. The rest stuck around for 10 minutes.
They were too far away for me to tell if this 10 was the deer I've spotted for the last 4 years now.
I can't believe I saw those deer this late in the season. It goes against everything I've seen for the last 4 years. But I'll take it. It was fun to see them, a delightful late season surprise.

No cameras...... I've never had nocturnal deer in that area.
It is possible some county doesn’t participate, but I think all donate to food kitchens. Several specifically call out that they do.
I’ve only seen them do that “officer harvest” at Alpha Ridge in HoCo. They might at some of the other “parks” in the county, but not that I have ever seen signs. MoCo it seems really popular.
A shame they don’t just open more of them to bow hunters a couple of days per year by lottery.
