Atlantic Flyway here!
Maryland is densely populated so the majority of our hunting is with shotguns, Remington 870's and 1187's are worth their weight in gold in my opinion! There is a little bit of rifle hunting area for Sika Deer, I use an old Western Field 30-30 that my grandfather handed down. However, I'm just as happy with my 1187 and a slug barrel and scope for deer around here. We just don't have those big wide open spaces! I also just got back into archery this season, bought a Bear Charge combo, it's quite nice.
Anyone else have the worst hunting season of their lives this year? The heat killed us down here, the birds barely flew, the deer stayed bedded down and didn't move much at all. Hopefully there is a good cold winter on the way next year!
