After a pretty un-eventful 2014, my son got things started pretty quick in early January, 2015. He is a Marine stationed at the Marine Barracks in Washington D.C., and was able to find some decent hunting opportunities in the area. It's a whole different kind of hunting out in Maryland, mostly on properties less than 3 acres.
This buck he killed with a crossbow...
And the doe was his first archery kill...
Then, a couple of weeks ago, I was invited to a friends ranch in the hill country of Texas for free-range axis deer and hogs. No luck on the hogs. Saw some big axis bucks that I could never quite get on. Finally got this young buck still in soft velvet. Not the biggest, butI was plenty happy with it. Hopefully I can go back for a bigger one in the future. But not bad for a $48 license and a few tanks of gas.
