Maryland Natural Resources Police Blotter
Maryland Department of Natural Resources
Annapolis, MD --(Ammoland.com)- Anne Arundel County
• On December 7, 2010 at 4:45 p.m., the Maryland Natural
Resources Police (NRP) charged Anthony Michael Smith, 31 of
Glen Burnie, Md., with hunting while intoxicated/under the
influence of alcohol, hunting forest game with a shotgun capable of
holding more than three shells, and failure to wear fluorescent
orange while hunting forest game. NRP officers approached Smith
at River Road and Furnace Road in Linthicum during a routine
patrol. Smith showed signs of being under the influence of alcohol
and failed a field sobriety test. He was in possession of a 12 gauge
shotgun and two unopened beers.
Garrett County
• On December 2 at 8:15 p.m., NRP charged Kory Austin Kamp, 20
of Lonaconing, Md., with possession of an antlerless deer during
closed season. Officers responded to the area of Avilton Road to
investigate a report of illegal hunting. At the scene, the officers
followed ATV tracks in the snow to 295 Louvina Road and
observed Kamp in the garage with an antlerless deer. Antlerless
deer are not allowed to be harvested in Garrett, Allegany and
Washington Counties on private lands between November 27 and
December 9. The illegal antlerless deer was donated to a needy
family.
• On December 7, NRP served Tyler Ray Cosner, 19 of Oakland, Md.,
with a criminal summons for possession of marijuana, possession
of paraphernalia and trespass on private property. The summons
was a result of an investigation into trespassing on property of
Wisp Resort, where Cosner returned after being asked to leave.
During the investigation, NRP officers found a small metal pipe
with suspected marijuana.
Wicomico County
• On December 3, NRP charged Matthew Lee McCallister, 39 of
Allen, Md., with twelve counts of failure to field tag deer before
removing from place of kill, twelve counts of failure to record deer
kill on harvest record, one count of possessing deer during closed
season, and one count of possessing red-tailed hawk. The charges
stem from a three week investigation that resulted into a search
and seizure warrant that was executed on the McCallister
residence. A red tailed hawk was seized and given to Tri-State
Rehabilitation Center for rehabilitation. A rifle, whitetail deer and
numerous antlers were also seized during the search.

Alabama --(Ammoland.com)- The Alabama Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) will hold four youth
trapper education workshops between December 2010 and February
2011, with more to be scheduled during the 2011-12 trapping season.
Each of the two-and-a-half-day events is free to participants, and classes
are limited to 25 students per workshop. Youth need to be at least 6
years old to participate.
Youth under age 16 and under must be accompanied by a parent or
adult. During the classes, seasoned trapping instructors teach students in
a variety of subjects including the history of trapping, furbearer ecology
and management, trapping techniques, laws and regulations, and
outdoor ethics.
During the classes, seasoned trapping instructors teach students a
variety of subjects including the history of trapping, furbearer ecology

According to Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries
(WFF) Supervising Wildlife Biologist Mike Sievering, these workshops
offer the perfect opportunity for the youth of Alabama to learn skills and
techniques that can only be attained from hands-on activities.
“The youth of today are more accustomed to sitting on the
couch, playing video games, texting their friends or watching
TV,” Sievering said. “Opportunities like this to learn outdoor
skills seem to be somewhat limited. The youth trapper
education workshops are just one tool to reverse that trend.”
WFF developed the youth trapper education workshop in 2007, with
assistance from the Alabama Trappers and Predator Control Association
and USDA Wildlife Services, as a way to preserve this vanishing art. Visit
the hunting section of www.outdooralabama.com for more information
about trapping and the youth trapper education workshops.
Call 205-339-5716 to register.
The workshop dates and locations are:
• December 17-19, 2010, Decatur in Morgan County, Ala.
• January 7-9, 2011, Greensboro in Hale County, Ala.
• January 21-23, 2011, Rockford in Coosa County, Ala.
• February 18-20, 2011, Greenville in Butler County, Ala.

Shooting with Both Eyes OpenDEC 08, 2010 02:42P.M.
Shooting with Both Eyes Open
Shooting with Both Eyes Open
Outdoor Alabama
Alabama --(Ammoland.com)- You may have heard about eye
dominance, but do you know the significance of what it is and how it
works?
Essentially, the dominant eye looks directly at an object while the non-
dominant eye looks at the same object from a slight angle.
This small difference provides us with depth perception. The dominant
eye is primarily relied on for precise positional information and the non-
dominant eye is used to help determine distances.
This ability to determine the distance to an object is due to the two eyes

receiving slightly different images due to the wide positioning on the
face.
While understanding which is your dominate eye is especially important
in shooting sports disciplines, hunters might also benefit from a better
understanding of eye dominance.
In the most recent issue of Outdoor Alabama magazine, Marisa Lee,
Regional Hunter Education Coordinator for the Division of Wildlife and
Freshwater Fisheries, explains why shooting with both eyes open is the
correct method whether shooting at moving or stationary targets.

SOG’s “Are You The Gunny?” Contest
SOG Knives
Lynnwood, Washington --(Ammoland.com)- Do mmoLand readers
have the grit, guts and gall to show their best impersonation of the one
and only Gunnery Sergeant R. Lee Ermey, a.k.a. The Gunny, to the
world?
On Wednesday, December 8th, SOG Specialty Knives and Tools will kick
off the “Are You The Gunny?” contest. Participants will be asked to
videotape and upload their best Gunny impression to SOG’s Facebook
page (www.facebook.com/SOGKnivesAndTools).
The best impression will be selected with a winner and guest flown to Las
Vegas for the 2011 Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show and
Conference. Besides gaining access to the show as a guest of SOG, the
winner will be invited to a special cocktail party on the first night to meet
The Gunny himself.
Full entry information and contest rules will be posted on the SOG
Facebook page on Wednesday, along with a special video message from
The Gunny. I have also included information below on some of the
brand-new products SOG will be introducing at the 2011 SHOT Show.
After years as a drill instructor in the U.S. Marine Corps, R. Lee Ermey
became widely known for his Academy Award-nominated performance
in Full Metal Jacket as well as roles in Apocalypse Now, the Toy Story

trilogy, and the History Channel series Lock N’ Load With R. Lee Ermey.
Ermey is a spokesperson for SOG (www.sogknives.com), the favored
brand for specialty knives and tools by the military, law enforcement,
industrial tradesmen and outdoorsmen worldwide.
The SHOT Show is the world’s largest and most comprehensive trade
show for professionals involved with the shooting sports and hunting
industries, and is the premier showcase of combined firearms,
ammunition, outdoor apparel, optics and more. It will be held at the
Sands Expo & Convention Center from January 18-21. Full information
can be found at www.shotshow.org.
• Double Headed Axe (F12-N)
• The SOG Double Headed Axe lets you get medieval when you work.
Based on the construction and durability of the world renowned
Tomahawk, but with a heavier two edged head, this formidable axe
can shape, split and cut wood, harvest timber, as well as be used in
military/LE operations for breaching, extraction, etc. It is big
enough to exert significant power with a two-handed grip but light
enough to use with a single hand.
• FastHawk (F06T-N)
• The SOG FastHawk is faster, lighter, more agile, and easier to carry
than its sibling the Tactical Tomahawk. This is not to say it is not
still powerful, versatile, and functional. It is a tool that will be used
for much more than you might anticipate. Chopping, breaking,
cutting, hammering, piercing, digging, prying, pounding shaving,
notching, opening and throwing are all capabilities well within the
FastHawk’s reach.
• Forge (FG01-L)
• The SOG Forge evokes a period in Japanese history when honor
was the most highly coveted virtue; It was a time when everything
was handmade with meticulous care. A good knife or sword was
meant to last for life- and as such, The Forge is built using both
traditional and modern methods. It projects a sense of elegance
and sophistication at the same time- The VG-10 san mai blade is
hammer forged creating the distinctive pattern and the handle is
precisely fitted using a stepped topo design for exemplary balance
and feel. And because so detail is overlooked, the sheath is as good
as the knife- crafted in Japan from thick rich leather, with a splash
design stitched into it’s face. A beautiful collectors item.
• Flash II Tanto (FSAT-98)
• The Flash II Tanto has got to be one of the coolest knives we’ve
ever seen. Forget its wicked-quick blade access, that it handles like
a race car on rails, or that it locks up like Alcatraz. It just looks and
feels extraordinary. The Flash family of knives feature SOG
Assisted Technology ™ (S.A.T.), which employs a powerful piston
lock that is easily released with a sliding button.
• The Flash II Tanto (Partially Serrated) comes standard with glass-
reinforced Zytel™ handle and partially serrated edge, Satin
finished tanto blade. All Flash knives come standard with SOG’s
patent pending, reversible bayonet mounted clip that ensures the
lowest, most discreet carry possible. We also had the foresight to
incorporate an additional safety lock that gives added security
when the blade is closed.
About:
SOG was an acronym which stood for Studies and Observations Group.
Sanctioned to develop and purchase their own equipment, SOG created
several knives for use in one of the harshest environments in the world.
It was in the spirit of this elite group, and the quality equipment they
commissioned, that SOG Specialty Knives and Tools was founded in
1986 by Spencer Frazer. Visit: www.sogknives.com

Pennsylvania Hunting And Trapping Opportunities For
Winter
Pennsylvania Game Commission
HARRISBURG, PA --(Ammoland.com)- Pennsylvania Game
Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe reminds hunters and
trappers they still have a mixed bag of seasons from which to choose
after the statewide firearms deer season concludes on Saturday, Dec. 11.
*123456* Lineitem #123456, tabblo #1, page 5 (5 of 12), generated 2010-12-09 01:27:03.194472 on g1t0236.austin.hp.com, dpi=225

They include seasons for deer, snowshoe hare, ruffed grouse, squirrel,
cottontail, pheasant, coyote, fisher, bobcat, beaver and other furbearers,
crows, doves and waterfowl.
The statewide late archery and flintlock muzzleloader deer seasons run
concurrently from Dec. 27 to Jan. 15.
In Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) 2B, 5C and 5D, the late archery
and late flintlock seasons run from Dec. 27-Jan. 29. In addition, all
hunters with WMU 2B 5C or 5D antlerless deer licenses can use any legal
sporting arm to harvest antlerless deer from Dec. 27-Jan. 29.
The small game seasons are as follows: squirrel, Dec. 13-23 and Dec. 27
to Feb. 5; ruffed grouse, Dec. 13-23 and Dec. 27 to Jan. 22; rabbit, Dec.
13-23 and Dec. 27 to Feb. 26; and snowshoe hare, Dec. 27-Jan. 1. In
addition, pheasants (males and females) will be open from Dec. 13-23
and Dec. 27 to Feb. 5, in WMUs 1A, 1B, 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D,
4A, 4B, 4D, 5C and 5D.
There is no pheasant hunting in the four Wild Pheasant Recovery Areas
(see pages 22-23 of the 2010-11 Digest). Additionally, there is no dog
training of any manner or small game hunting from the first Sunday in
February through July 31 in the four WPRAs.
Hunters who participate in any of these seasons must have a general
hunting license, which provides Pennsylvania hunting privileges through
June 30. Depending on the deer season hunters are participating in, they
also must meet additional licensing and fluorescent orange
requirements.
All antlerless deer taken by hunters in the late archery and special
regulations area antlerless seasons must be tagged with an unused
WMU-specific antlerless deer license harvest tag or a Deer Management
Assistance Program (DMAP) antlerless deer permit harvest tag.
Flintlock muzzleloader season participants may harvest an antlerless
deer with either a WMU-specific or DMAP-specific antlerless deer
license/permit or general hunting license deer harvest tag. Buck hunting
in the late seasons is governed by antler restrictions and limited to only
bowhunters and flintlock muzzleloader hunters who possess an unused
general hunting license deer harvest tag.
During the flintlock season, only single-barrel long-guns .44 caliber or
larger and flintlock handguns .50 caliber or larger with a flintlock
ignition system are permitted. The firearm must be an original or
reproduction of a gun used prior to 1800. Peep sights and fiber-optic
inserts are permitted, as well as iron, open “V” or notched sights. A
flintlock ignition system consists of a hammer containing a naturally-
occurring stone which is spring-propelled onto an iron or steel frizzen,
which, in turn, creates sparks to ignite the gunpowder. Flintlock
muzzleloader hunters may use “any single projectile” ammunition.
Hunters are reminded that firearms limitations for special regulations
counties – Allegheny, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and
Philadelphia – remain in effect for the extended antlerless season in
WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D. Those restrictions do not apply to those portions
of Beaver, Berks, Butler, Lehigh, Northampton, Washington and
Westmoreland counties contained in WMUs 2B and 5C, where firearms
deer hunters may choose to use a rifle, shotgun or crossbow.
Hunters using archery or muzzleloader licenses, and hunting with those
special sporting arms, are not required to wear fluorescent orange
clothing while afield, but are encouraged to do so where the seasons
overlap with late season firearms deer hunters. Special regulations area
hunters must wear 250 square inches of fluorescent orange clothing,
unless they possess an archery or muzzleloader license and are hunting
with a bow, flintlock or crossbow.
Those hunting in the late seasons also may take coyotes with either a
general hunting license or a furtaker license, 24 hours a day, from July 1-
June 30, including Sundays, as per specifics listed on page 77 of the
2010-11 Hunting and Trapping Digest. The bag limit is unlimited, and
hunters may use electronic calls and can pursue coyotes without wearing
fluorescent orange in most instances. Also, trappers can take an
unlimited number of coyotes until Feb. 20.
Trappers also may use cable restraints for foxes and coyotes from Dec.
26 through Feb. 20. In order to participate in this season, trappers must
have passed a mandatory cable restraint certification program, which
was developed and implemented with the assistance of the Pennsylvania
Trappers Association.
Furbearer hunting seasons continuing through the winter months,
include: red and gray foxes, until Feb. 19, including Sundays; raccoons,
until Feb. 19; bobcats, for those with special permits, from Dec. 18-Jan.
9; and skunks, opossums and weasels, until June 30 (certain restrictions
apply during the spring gobbler season, so please refer to page 77 of the
2010-11 Digest).
Furbearer trapping seasons include: beavers, Dec. 26-March 31 (bag
limits depend on WMU, which is outlined on page 77 of the 2010-11
Digest); minks and muskrats, until Jan. 9; raccoons, skunks, opossums,
foxes and weasels, until Feb. 20; fishers, for those with special permits,
from Dec. 18-23; and bobcats, for those with special permits, from Dec.
18-Jan. 9.
“Trappers seeking new locations to place sets are encouraged to contact
any of the agency’s six region offices for contact information for
landowners looking for relief from nuisance beavers,” Roe said. He also
recommended trappers review the various “Field Officer Game
Forecasts” available online (www.pgc.state.pa.us).
Crows may be hunted on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays until April 10.
Dove hunters also will have late season opportunities when dove season
reopens Dec. 27-Jan. 1. Shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise
to sunset, and the daily limit is 15.
Waterfowl hunters have plenty of hunting opportunities to pursue from
December into March. Hunters can take Canada geese and white-fronted

geese during the following upcoming seasons: Atlantic Population Zone,
Dec. 21-Jan. 29; Southern James Bay Canada Goose Hunting Zone, Dec.
13-Jan. 26; and Resident Canada Goose Zone, from Dec. 18-Feb. 19.
Statewide snow goose season runs until Feb. 19, after which the
conservation season runs from Feb. 19 through April 16. In addition to
all required licenses, conservation season snow goose hunters must
obtain a free permit from the Game Commission website. Snow goose
conservation hunters also may use electronic calls and decoys, as well as
hunt from one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset.
Ducks, sea ducks, coots and mergansers may be hunted in the Lake Erie
Zone until Jan. 1; in the North Zone, until Jan. 4; in the Northwest Zone,
until Dec. 30; and in the South Zone until Jan. 17.
For details on waterfowl bag limits in each of the zones, please consult
the Pennsylvania 2010-11 Guide to Migratory Game Bird Hunting, which
is available on the agency’s website (www.pgc.state.pa.us) by clicking on
the “Migratory Game Bird” in the “Quick Clicks” box in the right-hand
column of the homepage.
In addition to a regular Pennsylvania hunting license, persons 16 and
older must have a Federal Migratory Bird and Conservation Stamp,
commonly referred to as a “Duck Stamp” to hunt waterfowl. Regardless
of age, hunters also must have a Pennsylvania Migratory Game Bird
License to hunt waterfowl and other migratory birds, including doves,
woodcock, coots, moorhens, rails and snipe. All migratory game bird
hunters in the United States are required to complete a Harvest
Information Program survey when they purchase a state migratory game
bird license. The survey information is then forwarded to the USFWS.

Grouse Book Authors To DonatePortion Of Their Sales ToRuffed Grouse SocietyDEC 08, 2010 10:12A.M.
Grouse Book Authors To Donate Portion Of Their Sales To
Ruffed Grouse Society
Special holiday promotion will be used to benefit wildlife habitat.
Ruffed Grouse Society
Pennsylvania --(Ammoland.com)- The authors of the new book
“Serious Grouse Hunting, Book 1″ and the Ruffed Grouse Society (RGS)
have announced details of a special promotion, in which a portion of the
sale of each book will be donated to the RGS.
“Serious Grouse Hunting, Book 1″ is the first major book on ruffed
grouse hunting to be released in more than a decade, and reflects the
current status of “serious” hunting information using a heavy emphasis
on how-to-hunt tips and using newer technologies such as Google Earth
to help find grouse covers.
Co-authors Jay Kumar and Brendan Haines, who are both RGS
members, said the decision to donate a portion of the book’s proceeds to
the RGS was an easy one.
“The RGS is the only organization working tirelessly to
increase grouse and woodcock habitat, and success there
helps many other forest species,” Kumar said. “Anyone who
hunts grouse should know just how important RGS’s work is.
This is the least we can do to support that work.”
“Jay and Brendan initially gave us space in the book to
promote our mission and our upcoming 50th Anniversary.
That was generous of them at the time and their generosity
continues with this special promotion,” said RGS President
and CEO Mike Zagata.
“I have read the book and it does contain a lot of truly new
information about hunting this magnificent bird, including
the use of the Internet for finding potential grouse covers. I
sincerely hope RGS members and other grouse hunters will
put this book on their holiday gift and winter reading lists,
and thereby support the RGS,” Zagata continued.
Serious Grouse Hunting: Book 1 - Ruffed Grouse Hunting Tips Revealed
Available for $34.95 (includes $5 s/h) “Serious Grouse Hunting, Book 1″
can be ordered directly at www.SeriousBirdHunting.com, or at
amazon.com. The book has received rave reviews from readers and
multiple newspapers, including the New York Post which called it “a
must-read.”
Established in 1961, the Ruffed Grouse Society is the one international
wildlife conservation organization dedicated to promoting conditions
suitable for ruffed grouse, American woodcock and related wildlife to
sustain our sport hunting tradition and outdoor heritage.
Recognized by Charity Navigator as a four-star not-for-profit
organization, information on the RGS, its mission, management projects
and membership can be found on the web at:

LAPD & ATF Investigation IntoIllegal Gun sales Leads toIndictments on FederalWeapons ChargesDEC 08, 2010 09:15A.M.
Joint LAPD – ATF Investigation Into Illegal Gun sales Leads to
Indictment of Nine on Federal Weapons Charges
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Ammoland.com)- Federal and local authorities
this morning arrested five defendants who were named by a federal
grand jury in a 19—count indictment that alleges illegal firearms sales
and drug trafficking offenses.
Two of the nine defendants named in the indictment were already in
state custody, and authorities continue to search for one fugitive. An
investigation is continuing into the identity of the ninth defendant
named in the indictment.
The indictment, which was returned on September 28, outlines a series
of firearms transactions in which guns — including machine guns,
sawed—off shotguns and assault rifles — were sold to undercover
operatives from April 2009 through June 2010.
During this morning’s operation, ATF agents and LAPDofficers seized 12
firearms, including seven handguns and one machine gun, and at least
five pounds of marijuana. With this morning’s seizures, this investigation
has resulted in a total of 35 firearms being taken off the streets.
In addition to the defendants arrested in the federal case, authorities this
morning arrested five suspects who are expected to be prosecuted by the
Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
“One of ATF’s strategies for preventing violent crime is to
disrupt and dismantle underground firearms trafficking
pipelines and take down those responsible for supplying
violent offenders with crime guns,” said John A. Torres,
Special Agent in Charge, ATF Los Angeles Field Division.
“This investigation shows that ATF is at the frontline in
combating violent crime through partnerships with fellow law
enforcement agencies. ATF will continue to seek out and
eradicate those threatening the safety of our communities.”
“As Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, I have been
committed to working closely with our federal partners,”
said;LAPD Chief Charlie Beck.
“This morning, in a joint task force with our ATF partners,
detectives from LAPD”Gang and Narcotics Division executed
a federal warrant which targeted illegal gun trafficking. I am
very pleased with the results of today’s operation. I will
continue my commitment in our fight to reduce crime in our
communities and to keeping these dangerous weapons off the
streets.
The nine defendants named in the indictment, five of whom
were arrested this morning, are:
• Oswaldo Ramirez, 29, of Lakewood, an illegal alien who allegedly
arranged and was present at most of the firearms transactions;
• Victor Huerta, 20, of Paramount, who allegedly participated in
several of the gun transactions;
• Ernesto Figueroa Chavez, 21, of La Puente, an illegal alien who
allegedly supplied the gun in three transactions prior to being
deported to Mexico in October;
• Robert Francis Evangelista, 32, of Montebello, who was allegedly
involved in seven firearms transactions;
• Sergio Herrera, 30, of South Gate, who allegedly sold one firearm;
• Ivan Reyes, 34, who is a fugitive currently being sought by
authorities for allegedly selling one firearm and being involved in a
narcotics transaction;
• Robert Michael Roybal, 23, of El Sereno, who allegedly was
involved in two firearms transactions and is currently in state
custody;
• Ramon Lopez, 33, of South Los Angeles, who allegedly was
involved in one gun transaction and is currently in state custody;

and
• a ninth defendant who is charged with participating in one gun

crime. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty in

Explosives and the Los Angeles Police Department.
