So of course the horse people(left wing liberals of Maryland) complained that hunters would shoot their horses. Finally the limited days you could hunt. When someone questioned the $50 fee to help the state with their deer problems.... the state said it's a useage fee. When someone ask what the horseback people paid they were told they just ride... they don't pay. Hunters said, we don't use... we just hunt and don't ride.... or something along those lines. You know who still pays and who doesn't I'm sure.
No doubt, one of the only departments that bring in more money than they make is the Happ Baker Firing range in Carroll County, MD. But Piney Run lake costs millions to run. But a few council members have wanted to do away with the range. Go figure.
