MD Hunting License Fee Increase

[Doco Overboard]

I live in Delaware and hunt Maryland. Even as a land owner, I still have to buy an out of state license. On top of that, I’m in the middle of prime sika territory. Man, it’s getting expensive to hunt Maryland

I do the opposite some times. I expect reciprocal license to be greater now too of course but no extra tags for sika as far as I know in DE but firearms for the rut. Old Sharptown road next to the river is where you want to be over there.

Maybe it’s me but I don’t think it is a bad deal. For around $100 I can hunt deer, Turkey, squirrel, fox, raccoon, geese, duck, dove, Sika, etc with generally generous bag limits. Hunting from September to February. That’s equal to one dinner out for a family of 4 at a mid-level restaurant .

Nobody likes an increase, but your right.
Md has many first class public trophy deer lands not far from from many peoples homes.
You can hit three openers in a tri state area with firearms if your an avid hunter as well.
With of course the associated fee's and two less for property owner exemptions. Maybe three, but I dont know what Wva does for landowners in regards for license purchase I dont hunt there.

Time to charge other recreational users of state lands…..

Non resident landowners in WV have to purchase a non resident license.

What about residents. I wouldn't think they would need to buy a license to hunt their own properties.
PA required it a few years ago when I owned some lands there.
I bet a lot of sika hunters in Md will take a chance for not purchasing the tag initially.
