Howard County once again considers new hunting rules, including Sunday hunting until 10:30 am.
Delegate Robert Flanagan is introducing HoCo 16-18 which would allow hunting to be expanded to Sundays from 30 minutes before sunrise to
10:30 am, as well as changing the archery safety zone from 150 yds to 100 yards if part of a managed hunt.
https://www.howardcountymd.gov/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=_iA4ipA_fRU%3d&portalid=0 Currently, Howard County does not allow
Sunday hunting, and previous attempts to allow it and to reduce the archery safety zone have failed.
There will be a hearing on HoCo 16-18 on
November 29th. If you can’t attend the hearing, you can contact members of the Howard County Delegation to express your views starting on Monday the 27th. The Delegation’s contact info is listed below.
