The biggest issue is lack of private land to hunt like said above, followed by the developments that keep popping up, which can turn your hunting spot into being within the safety zone, or you have to deal with deer dying in the yard of some anti hunter who lives in that new house. The lease thing can be ridiculous. One farm near me is 200 something acres and one guy leases it for 10k a year. Another I tried to get to trap on is 2 guys with a hunting lease. No idea what they pay, didn't ask the landowner lady. But she decided that I could not trap even after deer season ( for coons and mink) because she was worried my being there might cause an issue with the hunters. And yes, it is not easy finding places to trap too. I talked to a guy who works at APG and he says there might get to be some changes such as allowing trapping again. I want to trap beaver and otter like never before lol. And maybe catch coyotes like I catch foxes- actually catching them since I hear they are deep in them there. And ooooh maybe grey foxes in there too!
I have a couple buddies that work on APG. The coyotes are definitely there. They are also in the rising sun and Conowingo area.
