I think you're probably right, but I'm holding out hope until I lose interest or find out definitively one way or the other.I don't know about Baltimore County parks but I can tell you that Harford County WILL NOT allow you to hunt on County owned parkland. Even when there is a hundred acres or more of undeveloped open space it is posted no hunting. I hope for your sake Baltimore County doesn't play by the same rules.
Baltimore County police- each precinct has a hunting MAP showing some of the answers you seek.I just moved to Baltimore County after spending a few years in Northern VA, and I'm looking to get back into hunting this fall. I don't have access to any private land at the moment, so I have been pouring over property records looking for government owned lands that I might be able to hunt on. I have identified a few parcels for investigation, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I have been searching the laws for the relevant government body, but they seem to only address specific things like hunting or discharge of a firearm inside town boundaries or metropolitan region boundaries. If these properties do not fall into an excluded area, and if there is no law generally prohibiting hunting on government owned lands, and the property itself is not posted, does that mean I can hunt there? Or are we MD residents limited to only the public lands listed on the DNR website? I've thought about trying to find someone to contact at each government level but, I would be concerned about just cold-contacting someone and either getting a person who just doesn't want to be bothered or someone who doesn't want people hunting, and they just say no, even if the correct answer might be yes.
So in short, my question is: how do I determine if state/county/town owned property can be hunted on?
TIA for any advice!
