Blackwater has always been good to me. I have been hunting blackwater since 1999 and either myself or one of the guys I hunt with have take a sika every year. Last year during ML I had a miss fiire in the moring because of the rain and my gun was wet ( I upgraded to shotgun primer the next week) It took six caps to get the gun to fire and I reloaded for the afternoon hunt and took a small six pointer. We hunted the ML and the shotgun days and two of us took six pointers and one took a spike and I can not wait to get back out in the swamps again, something about that place I love.

well i sure hope my Eastern shore connection will not disown me yet and show me some places to try this year. (OSPREY) i hate going all the way over there and having no idea where to place a stand or even look for sign.. i have only hunted them one time and i am hooked. i just need to get someone to show me what to look for and where to go on the public areas.. (OSPREY)...

Ospreys migrate southward in October, nobody around here during the fall resembling those regal birds...

When you all are hunting Blackwater are you hunting from treestands or are you walking the marsh pushing the deer? Which way do you think gets the best results when hunting Blackwater? Hello all new member here. Something to remember and respect about Blackwater... Drives are only permitted on certain days. They are listed in the regs. Drives are effective but nothing pisses me off more than when a group drives the marsh and woods right thru me on days when they are not permitted. Rememebr to respect fellow hunters when organizing and driving. Looks like a great group here and sorry to start off with a soapbox posture. Can't wait for the season. Hung 2 stands Golden Hill 2 nites ago on a private parcel. Thing look good, bugs not so bad yet.

Welcome to the site, love the name. I have heard that term several times usually referring to indoor activities, not outdoor!
