ANNAPOLIS — Maryland archers may hunt deer Sept. 15 through Jan. 31. Last season a total of 27,373 deer (10,047 antlered and 17,326 antlerless) were taken with archery equipment, up from 26,346 in 2008.
“Archery hunting is an important and effective part of our deer management strategy,” said Department of Natural Resource’s Deer Project Leader Brian Eyler. “Archery hunters continue to demonstrate a willingness to harvest antlerless deer, which contributes positively to deer population management across the state.”
This year, archery hunters will be permitted to use crossbows statewide.
