Quail Hunting in Maryland, a look back

[Kevin McCormack]

From the mid-1960s through the early 1980s, some of the very best quail hunting on the Delmarva Peninsula could be found on the big farms near the tiny villages of Powellville, Waste Gate and Wango on MD's Eastern Shore and in DE just adjacent to the north-south border with MD in places like Whigville, Chapeltown and Reeves Crossing. In what is now popularly referred to as "The People's Republic of Montgomery County", the village of Boyds and its surrounding farms were one of the most closely guarded quail hunting locations in our area.
