    Its about 20 acres all together and one camera but the way the woods are set up is that they would have to walk by this part where the corn and camera are. I two momma does and 3 or 4 yearly that I get on camera every two days like clock work. I know the bucks are starting to move around here because they are showing up on my buddys cameras on there properties. And I've been seeing a lot in the morning on my way to work. I'll most likely hit one with my truck before I get one with my bow

    Bud I've been hunting the same 150 acres by myself for the last 7 years, I've taken 3 nice bucks off that farm in that time. And every year I've seen many bucks both small and big, this year I haven't seen a single antler in those woods. Sometimes it just goes that way.

    Be patient the rut is almost here, and all the bucks on you neighbors property will be cruising and hopefuly your luck will change.

    You ought to be golden over there, 20 acres may not hold the bucks but they will cruise it.

    I'm in forest hill, right by rocks state park. I hunt north of here by the PA line in White Hall.

    It is nice over here I do have public land about tens away and that's over 4000 arces which is nice and not many bow hunters. The 20 acres is at my house and iits nice rolling out of bed and checking my camera. You should check out Millington wildlife management over here its about a hour from you. I lived in Aberdeen for about a year so I know where you are

    Maybe when I get back from Ohio we can meet up and kill one of those funky shore deer, if that public spot isn't packed during the rut that is.

But yea pm me when you get back from Ohio and I'll give my number set something up. You ever go to pretty boy resvoir? I'm from Baltimore is I still go up there some times

    I never have, never hunted public land in MD at all. Thought about checking it out this year but with the farm I hunt being so much closer I just haven't done it.
