Two antlered deer for all seasons combined, and no more than one in any single weapon season. A Bonus Antlered Deer Stamp adds a third — but it may not be used in the October 22-24 portion of the muzzleloader season. Guide, Deer Seasons & Bag Limits.

You

What you pay, and in several states what you are even offered.

Residency

Maryland DNR Wildlife and Heritage Service prices residents and non-residents differently, and sells some tags to only one of them.

Licences

Without one of these there is no legal way to hunt deer here.

Tags and permits

Good anywhere in the state.

Nothing in your wallet yet

Tick what you hold and the calendar starts answering for you rather than for everybody. Maryland DNR Wildlife and Heritage Service sells them at the link below.

Prices are what the Maryland DNR Wildlife and Heritage Service printed for 2026-27, and are here to help you recognise a tag rather than to sell you one.

Maryland deer seasons, 2026-27

Maryland’s 2026-27 deer seasons run September 11, 2026 to February 3, 2027, and what is open on a given day depends on the county your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the county off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Maryland DNR Wildlife and Heritage Service digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
