Second day of Maryland muzzleloader season

Well, my last couple days of trail camera picture were rather boring. The weather in MD is warm, and it is affecting deer movement.  So, I changed my tactics.  I actually hunted late this morning, because I was partly lazy and got tied up with a couple things. I managed to get to the woods around 715 am.  Spooking one doe on the way in did not improve my outlook.  Things went down hill from there.  I decided rather than sit in my blind, watching corn piles that deer had not even been using yet, that I would sit along the edge of a woods, at a CREP strip just prior to a bean field.  I watch the leaves blow for about an hour and basically got disgusted. So - I decided to walk, I know, I know, bad idea.  I ended up jumping about a dozen more deer before I got to my truck.  I then thought, well, I have spooked a bunch of deer, some of which were running to the other side of the woods ( a narrow strip between two fields) maybe I will have a shot on the other side.  Nope, nothing, but I did see a nice buck running accross the field, on the side I usually hunt.  I should have slept in. 

And - I forgot to replace the card in the camera I have set on that side of the field.
