sure would be nice to have the option of hunting on Sundays here.. Be a welcome addition to any of us out there that have a limited hunting schedule...

[osprey]

Fox, enjoy it this spring if it passes, which it should. By next season we won't be able to afford a license to go anyway, so by then will it really matter?

If it gets much more expensive I will just become a vigilante and have to take the deer and turkey out as a way of survival....

ok.. heres what I got. This lady is extremely nice and has emailed back within 5 minutes each of the 2 times I emailed the delegate. I emailed once a while back to show support, and just now.. then she wrote back immediatley. Delegate John Bohanan.

"It looks as if it has passed the House and has been reported out favorably by the Senate Committee. It now needs to be voted on by the full Senate. If it passes the Senate, it will go to the Governor for his signature and will take effect the day the Governor signs it. He usually signs bills the day after session (April 10) and on three other dates in April and May. I’ll see what I can find out from the Governor’s legislative office."

here it is... mlis.state.md.us/2012rs/billfile/hb1431.htm

if im reading it right, it passed the house and senate. Hopefully this gets signed on the 12th so we can hunt the 22nd and all other sundays this season.

Ok, it looks like its official. The gov's office put out this press release on the bills to be signed today... and HB 1431 Sunday Turkey hunting is So. Md. is LAST, but not least to be signed.

Anyone have any info on ALL DAY turkey hunting? I looked on the website and did not find anything saying that you can hunt all day for turkey except youth day. Couldn't we hunt the last two weeks last year. I am all researched out with my grad classes so i am asking instead of taking the time to dig deeper.

[hunteveryday]

Yes, you can hunt until Sunset the 2 youth days, and the last 2 weeks of the season.
