“Our hope was that these changes increase the number of days that ducks can utilize the impoundments on both areas free from routine disturbances,” said DNR Game Bird Section Leader Bill Harvey. “Our goal is to increase the overall number of ducks on these popular WMAs, which will lead to a higher quality waterfowl hunting experience.”
The boat motor restrictions and schedule of open waterfowl hunting days apply to the use of both WMAs within the managed impoundment areas only. Boat use and waterfowl hunting outside of the impoundments on these WMAs remains open.
Waterfowl hunters are reminded that hunting within these impoundments is by permit only on the opening days of each separate split of the duck season. After the opener, hunting is restricted to certain days of the week and/or certain holidays through the remainder of each split season. The schedule of open hunting days can be found in the 2014-2015 Guide to Hunting and Trapping. Those looking to hunt during one of the permit-only days must submit an application, located here, prior to September 15, 2014.

One more reason I no longer hunt in MD unless it's on my own property. No need to buy a hunting license.
So DNR is also going to limit their OWN ability to catch these criminal gasoline outboard motor users by catching them in their OWN electric motor powered boats? Whattttttttttttttttttt???? You mean DNR CAN use gasoline motors but criminal hunters can NOT? Big FAT bunch of Federal/State B.S.. Let's give them MORE federal/state dollar$$$$ to arrest Marylanders with boats, motors, hunting licenses all already paid for with over taxed hard working dollars. Let's get more DNR employees hired and more asinine political laws generated and virtually STOP every person in Maryland from going out on the water, for ANY reason. Better yet just close Maryland down, restrict, over regulate and tax them iknto submission. Maryland and Delaware - Home of the Liberal Democrat experiment.
