Maryland · Deer · 2026-27

This is what is open somewhere in Maryland today. A pin adds the half this cannot answer: legal light at your coordinates, the county your stand is in, and whether your own tags cover the day.

Transcribed from the published 2026-27 Maryland digest. Where this app and the digest disagree, the digest is the law. Read the Maryland DNR Wildlife and Heritage Service digest.

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.
