Welcome to Hunters of Maryland
A Maryland Hunting Advocacy Group
WHO WE ARE
Last Line of Defense Against the Anti-Hunting Community
A group of conservation-minded hunters whose singular purpose is to safeguard the privilege of hunting in Maryland from individuals, groups and organizations who would see those privileges ended through thinly disguised statutory, budgetary, regulatory and administrative policies.
PARTICIPATION
Self-Funded by a Dedicated Few
We are not a dues/membership group. We are self-funded by those dedicated few who realize the moral imperative of standing together, knowing that if they do not, hunting in Maryland could become a foregone legacy within a generation.
