Hi, I'm new, Maryland hunters.

Hi, I'm new around here.

I havn't been hunting too long. Mostly shooting what I did when I was a little kid with uncles and friends parents. Now I am a bit older and want to get really into it. I just recently settled into Montgomery County near Burtonsville. I just completed Hunters Safety and wanna do some squirrel or other small game hunting nearby. My question is do any of you know anyplaces I could go to do this? I couln't just go off into some patch of woods nearby with a .22 could I? I got some buddies who live in northern Howard County near alot of rural areas. But would it be legal for me to just walk out in some rural woods and take a few squirrels that way or do I have to go to a specified official WMA area?

I don't want to have to travel too far and make a huge effort just to bag some squirrels.

Any help will be hugely appreciated.

Thanks

Hunting Tip: Go Far But Not "Horse Far"

Out here in Colorado, and in the units that I haunt, it is a tricky game to figure out how far to pack in on a rifle hunt. You want to get away from the masses that have moved game away from the roads but might want to stay close enough that you are taking advantage of the animals forced movements. There is no universal distance but I like the 1.5 to 4 mile range for day hunts where I am not planning on bivying out. This keeps you in that productive buffer zone where the animals are really...
