Welcome to the MDWFA WEBSITE
Please join us for the MDWFA 2010 MEET, GREET, SWAP, & SHOOT. We will be having this event again this year at Loch Raven Trap and Skeet Center on September 5, 2010. They have a 5 stand (like sporting clays) as well as plenty of skeet and trap areas.
There is no charge to attend this event (more on facility shooting charges below) but please RSVP us so we can put together a head count for the ease of our planning. You can contact us by filling out the Contact Form located at the bottom on our website at our Contact page The event will be held on Sunday September 5, 2010 from 12pm till 4:30pm with a rain date of October 10, 2010 12pm till 4:40pm. Participants will receive Loch Raven membership shooting rates for the use of the facilities. MDWFA will provide picnic food. We also have the pavilion at the facility. Bring your old gear you'd like to sell or swap as we will be also having a swap meet. We will also have a 5 stand competition; so come and try to earn some bragging rights! This is also a great way to dust off the rust and get back into shooting form before the duck and goose season gets into underway! We had a great time last year and we hope to have an even better one this year; so mark your calendar and come on out and join us for some fun! _______________________________

AF Canada Goose Harvest Derivation Have you ever wondered how many resident or migrant Canada geese arein the hunting season harvest? Band recoveries are weighted using estimated population size and the number of adult geese banded per population.
Here is a table that show the harvest derivation of Canada geese for each area of the flyway (all seasons combined for 2004 through 2008). AFRP = AF resident Population; AP (HB) = Atlantic Population (Hudson Bay coast); AP (UB) = Atlantic Population (Ungava Bay coast); NAP = North Atlantic (banded at PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador); SJBP = Southern James Bay, and MF Giant = Mississippi Flyway Giant or Resident Canada geese.
Note that states like PA, NY, NJ and a few northern AF states where Atlantic Population (AP) goose bag limits are larger (3 per day) harvest far fewer migrant geese than MD (2 per day). These states are permitted larger bag limits to target AF resident Canada geese.
