Scouting, Roving,Stumping, Shed Hunting

[Tony Sanders]

Today was our annual Traditonal Bowhunters Of Maryland Rabbit Hunt. Unfortunately like the past couple of years, something comes up and I can't make the hunt. But later on I grabbed the longbow and went out to do some scouting and stumping while looking for some shed antlers. I was out for a few hours, but did not find any sheds. But I did find some nice rubs in one area approx. 80 yards from one of my treestands. Here are the rubs I found.
 

 


 


 

And here is the fellow I think might have made them.

 

 

 My treestand is approx. 17 yards from where he is standing, but I never laid eyes on him while hunting. I am hoping he survived the season.


 The money shot while stumping @ 48 yards(LOL).

Looks like he has survived a few already.  Good chance he will be there still next fall.

BTW    Nice shot !

Cool. I went out stumping behind the house yesterday, and managed to bust one of my carbons. I noticed the insert was a little loose and snot another stump with it anyways. Bad idea, it shoved the insert back into the shaft.

It looks like a fun day, I hope that buck makes it through to next year for you. I'm also wondering what bow you're shooting, that's a real looker.

That's a fine looking buck, Tony! Hope you get a crack at him next season. What kind of bow is that you are toting? It looks sweet!

Tony, saw a 130-140 class buck yesterday still carrying and he gad a smaller 8 with him.  Was hunting Charles co and had a 3 pt at 13 steps but no does.  Then saw a half rack run across the road coming home.

Next season could be intresting for you. Where exactly did you say this was?  

[BelegStrongbow]

Great pictures Tony, those woods look gorgeous. I am also curious as to what bow your shooting.

Looks like a day well spent in the woods. Hopefully you will have better luck next time on finding some sheds.

Awesome photos!  Thanks for sharing.

I've gotten to where I enjoy this time of year about as much as any.  I love to get out and stump shoot and walk around looking for sheds.

That deer is a stud! He will be there next year with less competition im guessing! Be prepared to keep it together at full draw on that hoss!!!!
