Those are the best deer to eat
Yes they are. No question about It. The very best deer meat I ever had was a 62 lb doe I shot. Those steaks were the most tender and juiciest ever.

DNR releases firearm season totals. 1000 less deer across the state than compared to 2016. It would be very interesting to see how many hunters were in the woods this year compared to last year.

I think that usually takes them somewhat longer. I forget if they report just people with hunting license, or if they break down based on survey results.

Thanks to both you gentlemen. I also had not heard of a Havalon knife. Sounded good so I looked it up. Nice. I went with what fabsroman picked out. It arrived today. Liked it so much I got my son one for Christmas. Thanks for the heads up.

This has been an absolutely terrible season for me so far. I’ve hunted 7 days, morning and evening and have not seen a single deer. This is day 8 and it’s shaping up to continue the streak. I’m not even really seeing any roadkill deer. I just don’t understand it.
I’ve hunted this location for seven years and while I’ve had plenty of days with no sightings, it’s never been an entire season!

Are you finding any dead deer, a la blue tongue?

Everyone i have talked to this year has had the same issue. Its like the deer vacated the state of Md
We typically stack them up where i hunt and we are struggling too. My neighbor sat in his honey hole for the last 4 mornings with a muzzle loader and left empty handed each morning.

In 2016 the fields were so empty, they looked like a Chic-Fil-A parking lot on a Sunday.

For what it's worth. I had someone tell me last week that there was over 700 confirmed cases of EHD in talbot county. And both farms we hunt in Dorchester have been slow. As in low kill numbers. For all the naysayers. EHD is the facts on Eastern Shore!

I went and sat in a pretty good spot last night. Usually you always see something during shooting light. Nothing moving during the blue bird weather were having.One of the lads checked some trail cams they had to the left of the stand and captured images of decent bucks scent checking the field edge.
Thats all happening about an hour or so before first available light.
We need an abrupt change in the weather or just start some slow two or three man drives to get some action.

Cold weather forecast for the beginning of the week. Nothing gets them moving this time of year like the cold. I'll be at it most of the week(Bonus tag).
