Took my gun for a walk and a ride up to the tree stand and didn’t see a damned thing. Pretty frustrating not seeing anything.
I just ordered everything except the sights and BCG for a 350 Legend AR, hopefully I can get that figured out for next year.
What did you go with? I’ve been thinking this would be a fun project with one of my spare lowers for next year.

I saw a good buck chasing a doe on my way to the farm I hunt in the morning. I sat from 6-5 and seen 8 cardinals, 4 blue jays a dozen squirrels and finally saw 2 does at 4:30. Heard 4 shots before legal time and just over 100 shots on the day. Surprising most shots were single shots, typically in my area they shoot 3-4 times at a time. I was setup near a creek in a thicket and my dad was setup on same farm at the edge of a cut corn field. He saw 1 doe in the morning and the same 2 does came past him in the evening, but didn't get a shot. I talked to a few other hunters and most didn't see much, but a few seen alot. Seems like the deer are concentrated in certain areas.
I'm of the mind that firearms season gets too late of a start in MD, especially this year. I feel like opening day should have been Saturday the 21st and then have it run through December 5th. 2 weeks and 1 day that gets us more of the end of the rut combined with the ability of many to take off the whole week to hunt and do Thanksgiving without burning a ton of vacation. That's similar to how it runs in WV.
I've said this for years that gunhunters should get a portion of the rut.
