Grizzly,

Have you checked into Fort Meade (North Tract)? Take 295 to 198 east about two miles, then make a right onto Bald Eagle Drive (I believe) and go to the check station on the right after 1/4 mile. It is 8,600 acres, and during bow season, you can get into any area you want. The only time you' d have to preregister (they do have quotas per area) is during the gun opener. They instituted a 6 or better bucks rule last year that should start producing some big ones. It does cost $40 (last year it did, anyway), and you have to pass a proficiency test. If you fail, you merely try again until you pass.

My cabin shell is finished in West Virginia, and I will have to make quite a few trips taking furniture down and cutting wood, insulating and wiring, etc. so might only hunt a few times in Maryland with my buddies in Charles and PG Counties this year.
