Has anyone ever hunted on Mckee-Beshers WMA in MD?

If so, what experiences have you had with that area? Mckee-Beshers is near Gaithersburg, MD. right? I was looking to hunt Dove and other game such as waterfowl and squirrel. Also, if anyone needs someone to tag along let me know.

Thanks.

I have hunted it quite a bit but mostly for deer. I have seen a lot of waterfowl and small game there. Your best bet would be to print out some maps and go stomp around a little bit.

I turkey hunted there once last spring and might try my hand at small game there this fall. It seemed like a nice spot with a fair amount of potential. It might've been the day I chose, but it didn't seem like too many people were using it. My best advice, like Lefty's, is to print out some maps and explore it. Best of luck.

Whatchapter of Izaak Walton? I was thinking of becoming a member.With IW, are members only limited to hunting deer?

In 1999 early bow season I had the pleasure of being shot at in my tree bya tree rat hunter.

I would avoid it on the weekends, but it's not bad during the week.Buy some hip boots to get away from the masses.

During bow seasonone year I almost go ran over by a couple of horseswhile taking a breather at the end of a hedge row.I was standing close to the brush incamo and these idiotscame down the rowat full gallop and turned the corner tight.

Almostlet one fly butdidn't feel likedressing out a horse and dragging it back thetruck.
