      Turkey Hunting In Maryland

      It's probably been said but Patuxent is good. At least I saw 4 turkeys there my first day out by myself. Wasn't too busy either. Seemed busier during COVID, but it's such a big place I bet u can find a spot. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

      Looking for camping spot in Dorchester County

      Thanks, metalman! Reviews looked pretty mixed, and particularly bad for tent camping. Do you like the place?

      Looking for camping spot in Dorchester County

      Hi All! I'm doing my first deer hunt with the DNR later this month at Blackwater Refuge. There aren't a lot of campgrounds around there, so I'm looking for someone who has land and would be willing to let me and a buddy setup camp (tents) for a couple nights over two weekends. I have a chemical...

      Thanks, guys! Looks like I have an improved cylinder. Stamp on the choke reads "12GA. I. CYL" Thanks for the other tips and sources.

      Mossberg 295 Choke

      Hi folks...My first purchase was a 1957 (or so) Mossberg 295 12ga bolt action. Identical to this one: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/761703115 I want to use it for turkey hunting this year, and was recommended to get a full choke. Warning, I'm new to shotguns, so don't know more about chokes...

      Seeking ideas for a fun, informal handgun "tournament" with 3 to 6 friends.

      Hi guys. I'm new to shooting. Usually just go drill by myself or with a buddy. Have never shot competitively, and only on YouTube. Anyway, main design criteria here is that it has to be done at an indoor, public range. And hopefully something we can self-score (no judges). Obviously we could...

      Hi folks...I can't believe this hasn't been asked, so point me to the thread if there's one already that you know of. I did a little searching and didn't see one. Question: What are some "unconventional" CCW applicaiton strategies that folks have used to obtain one in MD? Feel free to...

      Howard County Target Shooting Laws

      Just skimming this thread. My wife and I recently moved back to MoCo from Los Angeles. I joined Gilbert Range and the Rockville IWLA to have a couple close places to shoot. But as we think about where to buy, I'd really like to get 2-5 wooded acres to have a place to plink, or setup berms, or at...

      Target Shooting on Public Land Questions

      Check out Isaak Walton Leagues in Montgomery County I just joined Rockville, but there are 5 or 6 in the county. They're general outdoor conservancy orgs, but most have a range or two. Once you're a member, you can use the range and bring guests. Will probably be accepted well by your gang...

      what is the most usuable 19th century rifle to buy.

      What a great question and responses. I'm no gun expert, but my dad has a Winchester 25/20, 1892 Model (built in 1910 or so) that's great to shoot. So I'd vote lever action based on no experience with anything else :) Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

      Using C&R (Curio & Relic) FFL for inter-state within-family transfers

      Hi guys! Thanks to everyone for the pointers on this thread! Applied for my C&R and it came through last week. Now I just can't wait to use it :) Cheers, and Happy Holidays!

      Off-the-wall-legal question about interstate transport

      Thanks, guys! I thought that rule sounded pretty off-base, and not at all what I'd read in my own research on transferring guns from my dad in MI to CA (and now to MD, since we're back on this coast). I'll let my buddy know.

      Off-the-wall-legal question about interstate transport

      And I think it's all tame hunting stuff. Nothing that would be banned in MD. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk
