Scored on a deer this morning during Maryland’s 2nd annual three day primitive season. Sidelocks, recurves and longbows only. Heard the deer crunching through the crusty snow behind me at about 7:10 AM. Mountain was covered with intermittent fog all morning long. The deer ended up broadside to me at about 40 yds. After the shot while waiting for the smoke and fog to clear, a tom bird perched about 60 yds away sounded off with a gobble at the sound of my Renegades loud boom. The deer layed in the tracks of where it stood when I squeezed the trigger.
Upon approaching the deer I realized it was not the tall doe I thought it was. Rather it was a young buck who had recently dropped it’s horns. Most likely a spike looking at the circumference of the pedicles.
Either way I was happy. Happy I was finally able to get a chance to hunt in Marylands primitive season and happy I scored.
Sidelock hunting in the snow. Life is good.Even in February.
