Been slacking on this page for the Facebook followers. Great opening day in Maryland last weekend. Been a very blessed season and hope to continue to be blessed. Season is far from over but it does fly by fast.

If you’re not caught up on what Thick N Rugged Outdoors has been up to… you’re not missing much. Rifle season has came and went and it wasn’t nearly as eventful as years past but still a good time none the less. Late season has potential as always. Stick around and show support and before too long we’ll be on the water wishing we were in the woods as we’re in the woods wishing to be on the water.

Yesterday we helped out a fellow outdoorsman that got a sh*tty deal. He was out hunting and got down from his stand to spot and stalk for about 45 minutes. He returned to his spot to get back in the tree just to discover some as***le stole his tree stand while he was gone. He made a post on TikTok and I was mad for him. Luckily everything played out that he lives close enough and I was in a position to help. So I did what we all should do if we are in the position to do so and that was give this man one of mine. He can now return to the woods fully equipped with a nice climber stand. We’re here to help one another not bash each other.

How I Fooled 4 Mature Deer - NDA 10/11/2021

Very very very great read.. pay close attention to the small details and you’ll definitely learn a few things. As I’ve told some of you before sitting along a field edge other than standing corn serves no good purpose for mature deer unless thick thick security cover is within a bound or two

The Mysterious Adventure of an Exceptional Buck - NDA 05/11/2021

Please take the time to read this.. it’s amazing how far this buck travels

The Mysterious Adventure of an Exceptional Buck - NDA It’s difficult to trap a good deer scientist. They leave themselves room to maneuver when you ask them for certainty about deer behavior, a sort of scientific CYA. Good deer scientists say “usually” instead of “always” and “rarely” instead of “never.” When a good “yes” or “no...

Wasn’t much for active deer today. But the rut is starting to heat up and the next month is the time of the year every Hunter dreams of.

To think a buck of this caliber has lived 10.5 years in the wild. Avoiding danger every hunting season. Using his nose eyes and ears and instinct to stay alive is amazing. To wonder what this deer did all its life is amazing. And the truth of it is there’s plenty of deer bucks and doe that live this long that we as humans NEVER see because they know where to stay alive and safe.
