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.

Too easy to pass up.

Breech-loading rifles are those that are not loaded from the muzzle
and include, but are not limited to, break action, bolt action, pump
action, lever action, falling block, and semi-automatic rifles.
Breech-loading rifles may not be used to hunt deer in Anne Arundel,
Baltimore, Calvert, Caroline, Charles, Frederick (in that portion of
Frederick County lying south of a line beginning at the
Washington/Frederick County line at US Rt. 40 and continuing on Rt. 40
east to Harmony Road, proceeding south on Harmony Road to I-70,
following I-70 east through Frederick County), Harford, Howard, Kent,
Montgomery, Prince George’s, Queen Anne’s, St. Mary’s and Talbot
Counties or in Worcester County as follows: (1) within one mile of any
school, (2) within that portion of South Point lying south of a line
beginning at the west end of the Sinepuxent Bay Bridge on State Rt.
611, then by and with the south side of Rt. 611 to the junction of the
South Point Road going south for a distance of 0.6 miles to a point
opposite the southern boundary of the Ocean City Golf and Yacht Club
property on the west side of the road, then by the southern boundary
of the Ocean City Golf and Yacht Club to Trappe Creek and (3) within
that portion of the land lying south of a line beginning at the mouth
of the St. Martin River northwest to the junction with Shingle Landing
Road, then by and with the south side of Shingle Landing Road to the
junction with State Rt. 113, then by and with the east side of Rt. 113
to the junction with Rt. 589, then by and with the east side of Rt.
589 to the junction with US Rt. 50, then by and with the north side of
Rt. 50 to the junction with Assawoman Bay, then by and with the west
boundary of Assawoman Bay to the junction with the St. Martin River.



That there are laws against it doesn't mean it isn't done, and done
visibly. As stated, I have seen hunters with modern rifles hunting,
though if I were hunting deer, I'd probably prefer a slug-loaded shotgun.
