I've hunted SC PA and Nothern MD the last 4 years...I wont be buying a tag this year....Its a waste of cash for a Non res (especially considering the reciprocity game)! Both on public and a small track of private. The private ground is no more, the owners made the journey to better stomping rounds. The state grounds have been either dead, or crazy over run with people!
MD wasn't terrible, but sightings were rare! both for birds and deer. I do believe MD had/has more deer than the areas atleast by the sign we've seen compared to the areas I've hunted in SC PA, but its nothing to get excited about for 250 bucks a tag!
The one fun part of hunting MD....is sitting in stands watching the traffic on the freeway, giggling everytime someone rubs bumpers....slightly sadistic! That and the amount of fox is unreal! The noise sure beats the deafening silence up here and the screaming ringing in my ears! driving towards DC in 6 lanes to sit in a stand...hmm, whoda thunk it!
