A bit of Sika Deer hunting on Maryland's eastern shore. Thick phragmites, marshes, poison ivy and mrytle bushes make for some first class sika deer hunting! And they like it THICK.

They bed in the phrag seed on the left of this photo. 12-15' high mess of impenatrable grass.
 

They move through the mrytle. Poison ivy has claimed many a good stand location!
 

They'll also bed in the marsh which makes for some prime viewing opportunities.
 


Then one of these guys will show up to get your blood running. A friend took this stag four days later with his muzzle loader.
 

Plenty of these guys to keep you entertained....
 

Then hopefully, it all comes together!

This years elk hunt on my usual stomping grounds

There's camp, 2,000 feet below.  Alturas lake across the valley.
 

Very rugged little lake, 5 mile hike in, no trail blowdown all the way.
 

Taylor creek
 

Wooden bow in the woods, does it get any better?

The drive to elk camp later in Sept.
 

Looking at one of the areas we hike into.
 

One of the ridges we hike up and down. The scrub aspen are turning.
 

The view after a long hike.  A few hundred yards from where I took this picture I was having a conversation with a bull late one morning.  For some reason I took a quick look behind me and a nearly white wolf was sitting across a small draw looking at me.  Thrill of the day.


 

This is an elk trail through the alders, but it's a lot steeper than it looks.  Last year I had a running skirmish along this trail with a nice bull, but 200 yards from where I took this picture another bull joined in and he made a small tactical mistake and the season was over.

 

Every few years I visit this spot on a finger ridge not far from the Montana border. The quakie is dead now, but back in 1993 it was very much alive.


 

Along about 1993 I decided to switch to a longbow after about 12 years with a recurve.  One morning I got onto a bull with some cows, but he was a runner.  In those days, not many people interfered in day to day elk hunting, so I just tagged along behind him.  At seven that evening he came over to see who was pestering him all day, and I shot him.    The arrow was a doug fir with a wolverine.  Hit him in front of the shoulder as he walked and he dropped in his hoof prints, with his one and a half antlers around this tree.  I left the arrow against the tree, but couldn't find it five years later.  First big game with a longbow.

So don't wait until you retire to go hunting and fishing.  Don't even wait for your annual vacation.  Go at every opportunity.  Things that appear urgent at the moment may, in the long run, turn out to be far less so.

How ironic, here I start a post asking to see pictures of your hunting places and I'm sitting here with dial up service and I can't see most of the pictures.  

The few I've had the time to wait on look awsome but I've probably only seen a tenth of those posted.  :banghead:    :biglaugh:

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

There's some really pretty country shown in this thread for sure, but J From Denmark's place might be the most amazing of them all  :cool:  

Great pictures, I bet you dont have to cross many fences, or smell any filthy chicken houses when youre hunting there  :cool:
