      Gun Transport for MD residents

      Okay, this is the only pertinent part of your post. I'm not going to get into why he'd ask to check your trunk or why you'd let him. Nuther argument completely. :innocent0 You have the gun/ammo properly stored for transport (in MD.). No problem. Question; Why did you take it to buy a Pepsi...

      44 magnum Rossi Lever Action Rifle

      I'm sure others will disagree but... at the range this rifle is adequate for DEER, you shouldn't need anything but open sights. Up grading them is definitely an option, but in spite of that heavy bullet, the ballistics of the .44 Rem. Mag. nosedive beyond about 75 yds. A rifle barrel adds...

      Washington County IWLA June Membership Meeting

      I assume you mean your membership renewal, which went out a couple weeks ago. You will receive a 2016 range card after payment. You can do that by return mail or at the next meeting. IF you were one of the new members, maybe from late year, the dues go by calendar year, not join date...

      Kirk Orchard Unit

      I don't have much personal experience with your question. That said, The deer seasons are long in MD. Some deer season is open simultaneous to just about all small-game seasons. You (or I) are as justified to hunt small-game as someone else is to hunt deer. I know, I know, I try to avoid...

      "Occupied building..."

      All I'm gonna say is that Hunter Ed instructors are volunteers not employees of DNR. They are not very highly trained in questions of legality outside the realm of "safety" issues. That's not to say they don't know. Many are quite knowledgeable. Many however are prone to speak their own...

      MD CCW ... should I?

      While the privacy issue has already been covered, consider this. Criminals are typically not the smartest groups of people. HOWEVER, they DO typically go where the fish are biting. ;) How many other clues do you unknowingly give that there are firearms in your home? NRA, gun club, or other...

      my Harford fox trapping off to a good start

      Wild meat markets are definitely regional. Traditionally mostly "southern" - 44man, I see you're in S. MD. - but also where large populations of migrants from such regions have settled. The D.C. area had lots of 1st & 2nd generation (southern) migrants several decades ago. As well, due to the...

      my Harford fox trapping off to a good start

      I remember an article some time ago about coon meat for sale in an "oriental market," but lot's of people have discovered the variety and freshness of the fair at most such shops. Just saying.... It's been a couple years since I've paid attention, but in-season, Hunter's seafood in...

      Is It The Rut Yet?

      Nov. 17 has long been regarded as the peak of the rut in W. MD. Of course there are other influencing factors, but as a general rule of thumb it's been very reliable. "Rutting behaviour" will of course continue for weeks, just as it does leading up to. Then of course there is the opportunity...

      17 HMR?

      After experiencing a ricochet off hard baked soil some years ago I re-lined a Marlin .22WMR to .17HMR. It's an awesome caliber for what it's for. Good for varmints. Not bad for fox/coon sized furbearers if hit right (small hole explosive inside) and NO ricochets! These little bullets at this...

      Snakes

      Snake bites are exceedingly rare in MD. Poisonous snake encounters, while engaging in normal outdoor activities are uncommon. Death from a (native) snake bite is almost unheard of these days. Yes, there are snakes in the woods. Yes there are poisonous snakes in the woods. Yes, under all...
