Here's a couple of pictures of Maryland bucks taken so far this season by point-ed sticks. The swollen one is actually out-scored by the other one (200 1/8). ![[Linked Image]](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah22/grgroves/image_zps2q7cm3h7.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah22/grgroves/image_zpshqyhhene.jpeg)

W O W !!! Simply Wow.
After 44 yrs of WT hunting in Ar, La, Miss, & Al I've never seen a buck in the wild like the first one.
Amazing.

Those are some whopper bucks. Either that or gnome deer hunters back there....

Jerry, during 30+ years hunting Columbia/Lafayette counties I saw two that would compare to those photos. Both were half mile away and on someone else's lease.

My cousin sent me those pics. The top one was poked with a crossbow, I believe, in St. Mary's County, the other in Prince George's County, where I come from originally.

Jerry, during 30+ years hunting Columbia/Lafayette counties I saw two that would compare to those photos. Both were half mile away and on someone else's lease. Web - Columbia Co is where I first started deer hunting - between Magnolia & Stephens - but I had no experience and no one to be my mentor. So I was 'fumbling' in deer territory. I managed to kill a few deer in Columbia Co. and I saw a dandy buck BUT it wasn't close in size to the one in the first pic. Jerry

I'm in Calvert Co. We have some good ones, too, but I've never seen ones that big!

Very nice.
My cousin has a 160-class he took in Charles County. He only shoots big 'uns, so doesn't drop the hammer very often.
I saw a monster grazing just off the highway, almost in someone's side yard, down between Tilghman and St. Michaels on my way to Christmas dinner some years back. Lots of points and mass.
Biggest bodied deer I've ever seen was just outside Winchester, VA. Even about 250 yards away, you could almost see the fat rolls on him. Looked like a small steer. Major bone on top too. Right out in the middle of a pasture.
I doubt I've ever seen over a 130 in the woods, if that.

Those suburban deer living in small wood lots are able to live long enough avoiding traffic to grow that big. Prince Georges, Charles, Calvert and St. Mary's counties are sleeper area's for 140 plus class bucks.
