RE: Q for Len, davidmil, and other Marylanders!
There are other ways but I won't add them just to say think outside the box. The reason I don't add them is that they would become less effective for myself, but you don't need a lot of property to hunt nice deer. Make connections. As you meet people, you can always bring up the topic of the out of control deer population. You would be surprised how many home owners are fed up with the deer and wish you would kill them all. Furtheremore, network with other hunters.
This is by far the best way I have gained access to choice property. Who knows as time goes on you will be able to return the favor with property that you have gained access to. Just this pass year I gained access to top choice property. My friend, who has nine monsters hanging on the wall with more in storage, said it was the best place he has ever hunted.
When I get motivated, I plan on breaking out my camera and will take some pictures of what to look for. Just here where I live are the tall tell signs.
