My home is a sports store
Me and my sons applied for the lottery the first five years they had it. It was hardly any applicants back then. We got picked three times in first five years. Hard to find land to hunt if you dont own any west. Luckily my one son knew a few people in Garrett county and hunted a few farms. I do think that they should not just open up a long season as it may destroy the bear population like it was from over hunting years ago. Maybe like a two day open season for residents. I understand some farms have bad crop damage from them. They can destroy a corn crop fast. I also think in that case issue crop damage permits for landowners for reducing damage. Have to keep a balance though
