The Baltimore/Washington corridor is a pretty good barrier to keep
western wildlife out of Southern Md and there are still enough
rednecks down there to take out the few that trickle through.
If some did manage to walk across the Morgantown Bridge, I imagine
they might be able to establish a foot hold but the whole place is
still fairly well developed in a small farm/big yard sort of way.
It is so densely populated that you can't hunt deer with a rifle in
any of the So Md counties.

Calvert County has a population density of 413 persons per square mile.

St Mary's County has a population density of 291 persons per square mile.

Fairfax County, Va., has a population density of 2,738 persons per
square mile.

Lee County, FL, where you live, has a population density of 769 persons
per square mile. Your county is far more developed than ours.

In other words, the population density here is about half what it is
where you live, so your area is populated about twice as densely
as Calvert County, and nearly three times as densely populated at St.
Mary's County.

There are no big cities in Calvert County. It is fairly much
universally populated.

It is pretty much univerally unpopulated. Even along Route 4 south of
Prince Frederick to just north of Solomons, there's not much built out.

We have a few big cities (Ft Myers, Cape Coral and Lehigh) and a lot
of open space.
I agree we are more developed than it was when I moved here tho and a
lot more than I like..

Firearms hunting for deer is allowed in Calvert and St. Mary's Counties.

... but no modern rifles, only muzzle loaders or shotguns..

Doubtful, since I have seen hunters with "modern" rifles stalking deer
in harvested cornfields adjacent to woods.
