Hunters in our program are strongly urged to harvest as many antlerless deer as they can take safely and humanely. Our primary goal is to manage an overabundant deer population. Participating hunters are required to provide their own climbing or ladder stand and required safety equipment for their use.
Our selection of hunters will be based on each hunter having the credentials listed below, the completion of an application packet and being interviewed by the Hunter Selection Committee. All previous year Anne Arundel County managed hunt participants in good standing; are pre-approved and need only submit the Hunter Information Form, the Background Check Authorization Form and the administrative fee. All applicants are also subject to records checks through the Maryland Natural Resources Police and State and Local Police.
