Hunting a deer in the pines 0 comments
There was one more place I wanted to investigate before my afternoon hunt. The woods and fields were covered in more than a foot of white in Garrett County. The presence of deer was easy to locate with the blanket of snow. They left prints of their presence when traveling through an area.
I parked the Jeep at the end of the snow covered gravel lane. The overhanging green briars painted both sides of Jeep as I drove the seldom-used road. The boards on the old steel bridge were no longer strong enough to handle vehicle traffic.
I opened the door of the Jeep and grabbed my rifle. No need to take my pack. I was just going to walk a few hundred yards and check for sign.
Deer tracks punched the snow across the bridge. The deer have learned to keep their feet dry from the frigid creek by using the bridge. Interesting I thought. The snow on the far side of the bridge was littered with paw prints. More than just a few deer have walked these woods. Some tracks old, some with sharp edges seemingly fresh. The hunt was turning positive.
