congrats, dude.  I'm a VA guy, but I get a MD license too to hunt with some of my buddies.  I hope to harvest my frist trad animal this year.  Haven't gotten rid of my training wheels yet, but I am not planning on taking them out this year.

Sorry about the wait guys was loading pics and getting something to eat!

Today was the archery opener here in MD.....little earlier than in years past but it felt great to be in the deer woods. This doe was the first deer that I saw and wasn't about to be too choosy.

After the shot she didn't make it 50 yards. In all these years this is the first time opening day "smiled" on me.

Good luck to everyone out there in the woods!!

Many thanks guys.

She was a little more than I could handle on my own so I had to get some "reinforcements" to help!

This is my son Sam who also happens to be my avatar picture.....he is taller than me now! We had great fun and shared some nice father / son time.

This is a Rose Oak "Ultra Delight" and to say I am very pleased with it would not do it justice. Brandon is a sponsor here who is a pleasure to work with.

Love the way this one looks and it shoots even better!!

From a Marylander who didn't get out on day 1,
CONGRATULATIONS!

With the heat in Frederick County, glad she dropped in site.  Even better to have such a great partner to help you drag her out.

...and you even did it with a glossy, shiny bow.   :clapper:  


A lot of folks seem to think that you need a dulled up, camo'd, ugly bow to get the job done... I guess not.    :biglaugh:  


Great job John!


Best of luck for the rest of the season.
