Everyone should take this survey and mention that the park should be open to hunting for all species/seasons.
We worked hard to get it opened for the remainder of the 2014/15 season, and the short spring turkey season, but they need to hear from more of you.
Sorry for not getting to this sooner. There were mixed results on these issues.
The repeal of the Extended Hunting Season - PASSED both houses, and will be presented to the governor for signature. I have no reason to suspect that we hill not sign it.
The 50yd rule for Archery hunting in...
Just an FYI - A few of us drove to Annapolis yesterday to testify for HB55 (50yd Rule). It was a quick hearing, but Delegate O'Donnell did a great job. Surprisingly, we also got supporting testimony by MD VA Secretary (and Calvert County Resident) George Owings.
With any luck, the committee...
I wonder how hunters would behave if they had to sign a contract. Even if there was little or no cost...with the expectations known I bet there would be fewer incidents like the ones described above.
I hate the idea that common sense should be put on contract, but... unfortunately that's...
The Hearing schedule has been updated, SB68 will be heard in the House ENV and Transportation committee on Wednesday 3/25. The first post has been updated accordingly.
No reason in particular except that residents of St.Mary's and Calvert asked for it. This was a true local bill, there were no organizations pushing for it. If you would like Charles added, I suggest contacting the lead sponsor and your Senator. It's pretty late in the game, so don't be...

I'm willing to reconsider my statement if you have 620 friends that support the extended season... :patriot:
This Bill is not about taking something away from...
I meant to say "Most" Hunters do not support the extended deer season. Sorry.
This topic is somewhat polarizing, but just about everyone I talk to says they don't want to harvest deer when they are extremely pregnant, nor bucks that have lost their antlers. I don't think anyone denies the...
****IF you have a different opinion, Please feel free to contact your legislators****
I just wanted to pass a long information on two pieces of important deer hunting legislation making their way through the MD General Assembly. Below are two bills that are extremely important. I encourage you...
