For the Marylanders,
Does anyone know the rules/laws about bringing along others on hunts? I looked on DNR's website and couldn't find much. Basically I want to make sure it's legal for me to bring my girlfriend along for a hunt, eventhough she doesn't have a license and wont be shooting or even holding the gun. I'm trying to get her involved, and she's mildly interested, in my hobby/obsession.
thanks,
B

I dont think that she would need a license but i would get one anyways, that way she could take one if she wanted to. My wife shot her first deer a 6 pt with me maybe 50 yds away watching wish i would have brought the video camera

I took my wife back when she was my girlfriend. I keep bugging her to come with me so that she could experience the thrills of seeing deer from a stand. We got up in a two person stand and after about an hour she fell asleep.Zzz. So I just let her sleep (figured she couldn't scare the deer that way) We never saw a deer that morning, but at least she got to see what it was like to wake up at the butt crack of dawn and get in a tree! I love Hunting!!

Big Fox, I'll talk to DNR about it and post. Jlwade, she hasn't taken Hunter's Ed so she cant get a license. I do think we may get her enrolled in a class this summer though. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one.

no need to do anything, as long as she NEVER touches the gun your fine.

no need to do anything, as long as she NEVER touches the gun your fine. that is a motto i practice in my house anyway. i figure she can't use it on me if she doesn't know how to load it......  |

I just got an email from a DNR rep. The response... "It is legal if she is not hunting, or in possession of a weapon." So there ya go. So I'm assuming she can practice her turkey calling, as long as she's right with me...

Good Luck! I wish I could have got my wife involved in hunting. But that ship sailed a long time ago. Now I'll focus on my kids.
