The HUNTERS OF MARYLAND want Maryland’s hunting community to recognize two influential allies within the Maryland General Assembly: the Honorable Michael A. Jackson (Prince George’s, Charles and Calvert Counties) and the Honorable Rachel Jones (Prince George’s and Calvert Counties). Both State lawmakers voiced their strong support of upholding the legacy/tradition of hunting at a special event held on November 16th in Dunkirk, Maryland.
Such support is critical to Maryland’s hunting community when one faces the fact the prevailing urban mindset in Annapolis is far from friendly to pro-hunting policies, aka statutory, budgetary and/or regulatory. When only a handful of Maryland’s 188 lawmakers pursue game afield, this fact should not be a surprise to anyone.
It is the mission of the HUNTERS OF MARYLAND, among other things, to (1) help educate State lawmakers about hunting in general -- aka, legacy/tradition – and hunters in particular – aka, the 2% of Maryland's citizenry who underwrite virtually 100% of the cost’s attendant to wildlife management/research; and (2) advocate for pro-hunting policies, especially from the perspective of promoting recruitment, retention and re-activation
