If you're riding any of the Salem Property trails around the lake, it is highly suggested to wear orange, or just avoid those areas and stick to the White Trail during hunting season.
Tomorrow (10/22) is opening day for early muzzleloader! We want everyone to have a safe and successful season. Please make sure you are wearing your daylight fluorescent color clothing and if hunting from an elevated position, you have checked to make sure tie-downs and ladders are safe and secure. Always wear a safety harness when climbing to an elevated position.
In Regions A and B, both antlered and antlerless deer may be taken. In Region A, only one deer total (antlered or antlerless) may be taken during the Oct. 22-24 season. In Region B, beginning Oct. 26-31, only antlerless deer may be taken. Hunters may not use their bonus antlered deer stamp during early muzzleloader season.
As a reminder, there are no longer field tags in the Hunting Guide, there are multiple alternatives available. You can use the MD Outdoors app from your phone or field tags can either be homemade and include your Name, DNRid, Harvest Date, and County of Kill, or you can print a sheet of tags from your MD Outdoors customer homepage on your desktop by accessing the link on the bottom left of the screen under Downloads.
