Prather's Neck, MD
I decided to try Prather's Neck WMA on Sat 2/4/12. I had heard there are fox squirrels there and I've always wanted to hunt them. The terrain and variety of habitat was impressive. I hunted west from the parking lot clear to a large ravine and then down to the river. There are very large trees in this area. I then hunted around the southern tip along the river. Walking was pretty easy as I followed deer trails between the river bank and the high cliffs. Alas, as with most other public hunting areas this one was devoid of wildlife. The only game I saw were a few ducks and geese swimming in the river. There was quite a bit of deer sign and I probably would have seen some had I been hunting for them. I saw no squirrels, no rabbits, not even a chipmunk. It was a nice day being in a nice area but the hunting sucked.
