Art, MD's afflicted with some of the most virulent anti hunters in the US. Under Governor Clendenning, an anti hunter was appointed to the Wildlife Advisory Board and now there's a task force devoted to "Exploring non lethal alternatives in wildlife management".

It bites. Hunters and fishers have been the backbone of the conservation movement since the beginning, and now the bill for eliminating those activities is being paid by same.

BTW, If a Md hunter hunted all zones and used all weapons this last year, the bag was limited to a mere 36 Whitetail asd Fallow deer and another 6 Sika.

Aerial surveys of a couple farms I hunt on the Eastern Shore have deer densities of over 100/sq mi. We can use a lot of crop permits, over and above our license tags..
