  • Hunt any game bird or mammal while under the influence of alcohol or any narcotic drug.

  • Hunt or trap on private land without written permission of the landowner.

  • Hunt any game bird or mammal on Sunday with the exception of:

    1. a person who possesses a Falconry Permit, who may hunt specified game birds and mammals on Sundays during the open season;

    2. an unarmed person participating in an organized fox chase, who may chase foxes on Sundays;

    3. persons hunting on Regulated Shooting Areas may shoot captive raised game birds on Sundays; and

    4. persons hunting deer on those Sundays specified in Region A & Region B Deer Hunting Seasons and Bag Limits.

  • Hunt any animal other than deer on the first day of Deer Firearms Season, November 29, 2008, except sea ducks in the Sea Duck Zone.

  • Have a loaded firearm in, on, or leaning against any vehicle. This includes ammunition in the magazine or a muzzleloader ready to fire.

  • Have a cocked crossbow in or on a vehicle.

  • Shoot on, from or across any public road.

  • Hunt or shoot at wildlife within 150 yards of an occupied structure or camp without permission of the owner or occupant.

  • Cast the rays of an artificial light from a vehicle on woods, fields, orchards, livestock, wild mammals or birds, dwellings or buildings. However, in Baltimore City, Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties, a person may cast the rays of an artificial light from a vehicle for the sole purpose of observing or photographing wildlife until 9:00 P.M. A person may not have a weapon in his possession while casting rays of artificial light. Note: coyote, fox, opossum, or raccoon may be hunted on foot at nighttime during open season with the use of a dog or light, or both.

  • Target shoot on state lands except in designated areas.

  • Construct or use permanent blinds or tree stands on state-owned or controlled properties. (Tree stands and blinds are limited to those of a temporary nature which must be removed at the end of each day.) 

  • Trap on state lands without written permission from the controlling agency.

  • Hunt without a form of positive identification, such as a drivers license, other photo identification or a secondary form of positive identification.

  • Tamper with any legally set trap and to remove the catch from any legally set trap.

Note: The woodchuck and nutria are classified as “unprotected mammals.” As such, a hunting license is not required to hunt woodchucks and nutria except in Baltimore and Frederick Counties. Woodchucks and nutria may be hunted throughout the year, including on Sundays. Hunters must wear fluorescent orange while hunting woodchucks. All legal hunting devices may be used to hunt woodchucks and nutria.
