So I have hunted our farm on Savage Mountain pretty close to every single rifle season, the first day especially, since 1982. Barring the two years I spent deployed in the early 1990's.
Every single opening day in the 80's , 90's and early 2000's it sounded like an absolute battlefield. There...
So, When I was a kid and always stayed at our farm on Savage Mountain, in the late70's early 80's, my grandfather would kill probably 10 rattlesnakes each summer. that number slowly dwindled down to zero through the years.
In 2001 I built a house on the farm and have never seen any...
So, I was looking at the rules and regs for the 2017 bear hunt this yr. and I ran across the section concerning baiting bear. and this sentence is a bit vague.
•It is not considered to be hunting with the aid of bait if a hunter AND any bear that a hunter shoots at are at least 150 yards...

Apparently if you are in this program your tax assessed value drops to $187.50 per acre. Of course there are some requirements and you have to pay $250...
Does anyone know of any barn builders in the Garrett County area ? I need a custom barn built in Eastern Garrett County. I would love to find an Amish contact if possible. Any ideas?
I live above Frostburg out in the sticks. on a farm. My two outside farm dogs run free. Their job is to keep other animals and things away from the house. They do a great job of this. But lately these damn Porcupines are costing me a fortune in vet bills !
3-4 weeks ago my younger dog got into...
I know a lot of you guys here hunt and are famililar with grinding meat, usually deer meat. found this grinder in my grandfathers old shed. I remember when I was a kid he used this to grind deer meat into burger and to make sausage. The grinder head says "Standard" on the other side ( not...

I recently posted in the Western Md. Section that the state of Md. along with the DNR are opening up a vast ATV trail system here in western Md. More specifically Garrett County. It is pretty much a done deal and the first 13mile loop is already place and ready to go.
here is the link to the...
FYI- The State of Md. along wiht the DNR and Forestry dept are putting a plan together to open up a vast trail system here in Western Md. I don't think it would rival the Hatfield McCoy trail system but, if they get to do what they are trying to do it will be a large trail system.
I have...
Well, today we had to put our loving dog down ( Shepherd/lab mix). We live on a farm and he was our security system, our bear and coyote repellent, our baby sitter for our daughters and the offical porch "holder downer".
He only left our farm 3 times in 13 years. twice for porcupine quills...

Well, We have all heard or maybe even seen a mountain lion here in Garrett County. But the DNR claims they don't exist in western Md. or the east coast for that matter. (go figure)
I knew with all the trail cams in the woods today, it was only a matter of time before a quality undisputed...
