Publication # DNR 03-042420-230 2 2020–21 Maryland Guide to Hunting & Trapping MESSAGES Dear Maryland Hunters and Trappers: As outdoor enthusiasts, I know we all welcome the start of the 2020-2021 hunting and trapping season! Not only does Maryland have rich heritage steeped in the traditions of hunting and trapping, we have unique, world- class outdoor recreation experiences across our state. Our department’s wildlife professionals continue to work with many stakeholders to ensure that we manage those resources responsibly and provide you with safe and successful opportunities to hunt. We are pleased to announce that new wildlife management areas have opened to provide even greater access to Maryland’s public lands. Hunters, trappers, and other wildlife enthusiasts will find a wonderful variety of places with diverse wildlife, terrain, and natural features to enjoy. Thanks to many private landowners, espe- cially Maryland’s farmers, our state also has a vast network of private lands that support wildlife and hunting. Jeannie Finally, an important reminder for all of us as we head outdoors to enjoy Maryland’s natural resources – stay Haddaway-Riccio safe, take precautions, and protect others. Wishing you a safe and fruitful season afield! Sincerely, Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio, Secretary of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Greetings Maryland Hunters and Trappers: Welcome to the 2020-2021 season. This spring and summer was no-doubt one of the more remarkable and chal- lenging times in our modern history. We learned that spending time outdoors with our families was one of the safest ways to decompress from the stress of the pandemic. As a result, thousands of Marylanders took to the fields, forests and waterways across Maryland. Hunters and trappers know the importance and value of being outdoors as well as any enthusiast. All of you enjoy being outdoors it and embrace it as part of your life. It is more than a place to fill a tag, indeed your outdoor world is a safe and stress-easing zone that allows you the chance to disconnect from the chaos of daily life – particularly when life is at its most stressful. Perhaps more than any other season in recent history, the Spring 2020 turkey hunting opportunity demonstrated Paul A. Peditto the passion and enthusiasm of the hunting community and their interest in being outside. Hunters across Maryland did not want to miss their chance to get outside and, in what is perhaps the purest form of social distancing, spend time in search of a spring gobbler while easing their minds of the news that surrounded us. It was remarkable to read the tales of appreciation by so many of you who took to the fields and forests during the spring season and, irrespective of your success in tagging a turkey, found it one of the most fulfilling

    SEPTEMBER 2017 VOLUME 52, ISSUE 1 TheNewsletter of the SouthernOsprey Maryland Audubon Society President’s Perch Audubon Adventures Hopefully everyone had an adventurous summer. While our society has few summer events, we did have two that were noteworthy to share. On June 23 we had 20 attendees for our Osprey banding trip at Patuxent River Park, Jug Bay. Our leader, Greg Kearns, did his usual fabulous job, adding extra excitement at the end when the engine on the boat died! A park employee came to the rescue, adding only 30 minutes to the tour. The weather was the best you could wish for, and much fun was had by all. Unfortunately, it appears we are having another Atlantic Puffin year of nest failures; this makes two in a row. I am glad that SMAS was able to Photo by Tiffany Farrell have so many attend this trip; financial support is vital so researchers like Greg can continue to study the population and productivity of our SMAS signature bird. Our second summer event came from our newly formed Youth Outreach In This Issue Committee, chaired by Lee Vines. On Saturday, July 15 we had a dozen excited birders, ranging in age from 2 to 18, plus moms and a few adult birders who knew Calvert Cliffs State Park a good thing when they saw it. The folks at Ladybugs Alive! Sunflower Maze Field Trip at historic Bachelor’s Hope Farm in Chaptico invited SMAS to hold the event. Lee gave a fantastic explanation of the life cycle of the Monarch butterfly (see Cat Wars aerial picture of the sunflower maze in the shape of the Monarch caterpillar), then we enjoyed a bird walk around the farm led by SMAS board member Tiffany Magical Moments at Hog Island Farrell.

  • A Practical Guide to Petitioning for a Grant of Arms’
    Welcome to Version 1.2 (20th September 2016) A Practical Guide to Petitioning for By Paul D Jagger a Grant of Arms 1 Welcome to ‘A Practical Guide to Petitioning for a Grant of Arms’. These materials support a face-to-face workshop on the subjects of heraldry and petitioning the Crown for arms in the Commonwealth realms, Crown Dependencies and Territories. For the sake of simplicity the following slides focus on the heraldic practices of HM College of Arms in the City of London covering England, Wales, Norther Ireland, the Crown Dependencies, Territories and the Commonwealth Realms other than Canada. Scotland has enjoyed its own heraldic authority since before the union of the crowns. Agenda An Introduction to Heraldry Petitioning for arms Displaying arms Preparing your petition Frequently Asked Questions Further reading and resources 2 Heraldry: An Introduction 3 We will now explore some of the concepts and terminology of heraldry, the law of arms and gain a brief insight in to blazon, the language of heraldry. The photo was taken by the author in the great hall at Queens’ College, Cambridge. Heraldic Myths Busted There is no such thing as a coat of arms for a surname The words crest, badge and coat of arms are not synonymous There are no fixed meaning for colours or symbols in heraldry You cannot buy your family coat of arms from a tourist shop or website You don’t have to be a Lord or a Knight to be granted arms 4 Before we proceed with the substance of this workshop it may be helpful to dispel a few common myths and misconceptions about heraldry and coats of arms.

  • Chalinus Armiger in Plautus' Casina WILLIAM S. ANDERSON
    Chalinus armiger in Plautus' Casina WILLIAM S. ANDERSON The first surviving occurrence of armiger meets us in Plautus, who uses the noun six times. Of these, one, the earHest, appears in Merc. 852, and all others define an important character of the Casina, the slave Chalinus. It is not immediately clear, when in the prologue of Casina (55) we first hear of the slave as armor-bearer, whether any nuances attach to the word. Since this matter has not been adequately studied (nor the significance of the armor-bearer in the comedy) I shall bring evidence to bear on armiger and show that the word was probably pro- saic in its original usage, therefore in all likelihood introduced by Plautus himself, and consequently we should think of Chalinus as a lowly character, not the typical servus urbanus or callidus: he is a man whose physique and militant past operate more significantly in the comedy's themes than his cleverness. The reader of Augustan poetry might well query my first point, for armiger as noun appears predominantly in poetry in the Augustan period, notably in the Aeneid} and armiger as adjective seems to be 'Vergil uses armiger six times; five in the nominative (Aen. II. 477, V. 255, IX. 564 and 648, XI. 32) and once in the accusative (IX. 330). In his commentary on II. 477, R. G. Austin wrote of the word: "a Piautine noun (Merc. 852, etc.), introduced by Virgil into high poetry" (p. 188). Such an assertion is a bit risky, since Cicero alone employs the word between the occurrences in Plautus and Vergil.

  • The Use of Heraldry in Genealogical Research John P
    The Use of Heraldry in Genealogical Research John P. DuLong 11 October 2018 Topics • What is heraldry? • How heraldry can help solve genealogical problems. • Misuse of heraldry and “folk heraldry.” • Examples of heraldry evidence from my own research in Ireland, England, Scotland, France, Italy, and Belgium. • If time permits, then I will address registering arms and grants of arms. What is Heraldry? • Heraldry has come to mean the system of arms involving the use of particular devices centered on a shield that has become hereditary symbols passed down through a family, normally through the eldest son. • In some countries it is tied to social stratification and is a mark of nobility, in other countries heraldry is also used by non-nobles. • Although there are some general rules of heraldry that apply everywhere, some heraldry practices do vary from country to country. • In America, where many of our founding fathers used armorial bearings, it is more equalitarian and does not imply nobility. • For genealogists, heraldry is a tool that can be used to solve genealogical problems and to provide background for our research. General Rules of Heraldry • We will not be reviewing the rules of heraldry in detail here or the technical terms involved in heraldry. • See the handout for some of the technical terms and for a bibliography of works regarding heraldry. • There is one rule that I would like to very clear: It is bad form, and in some countries illegal, to use the arms of others without a right to them though inheritance. Use of Heraldry in Genealogy • Heraldry is not just something of esthetic interest, but of practical value when doing genealogy on bourgeois, gentry, and noble ancestors in Europe.
