DON'T FORGET

Maryland's bowseason opens earlier now. September 6th will be opening day for archers. The DNR has posted the new 2013-2014 regs online @ http://www.dnr.state.md.us/huntersguide/index.asp

Wow that's early. Why do you think they moved it up? I've been trying to find a good option for a September hunt. Maybe Maryland is something to consider.

The early starting date is the result of efforts of hunters and groups Like the Maryland Bowhunters Society. Being politically proactive with the legislature, MBS has really helped with more opportunities for archers here in Maryland, which includes some Sunday hunting on private land being allowed now also.They have also worked to modify bag limtis to improve the hunting in general, and are always at the table when threats from antihunters arise. I would recommend if you are a Maryland archer or have an interest in hunting Maryland, you consider joining.
http://www.marylandbowhunterssociety.org If not, look into joining your local bowhunters or hunting groups. There is strength in numbers, and these organizations can work wonders for hunters, if their membership is strong enough.

Hunting here would be a good consideration if your looking for a September hunt. While it can be downright hot here in September, I can attest to the fact that some of the best hunting takes place then, especially on the public areas, before the pressure picks up, and with the earlier start date, the chance at a buck still in velvet is greatly increased.
