Closed Year Proposal for Maryland Game Protection
Members of the Maryland Game and Fish Protective Association discussed a plan to propose a one year closed season for Maryland game. The measure would ban all hunting across the state for at least one year to allow wildlife recovery. Supporters cite Virginia’s results as positive, noting recent winter blizzards and past overhunting harmed fowl populations and rabbits. They argue a temporary halt would help game rebound and benefit all regions.
