Maryland hunters reported harvesting <\/span>9,633 <\/span>deer on the opening weekend of the\u00a0<\/span>2025 firearm season<\/span><\/a>\u00a0from Nov. 29 \u2013 Nov. 30, according to data collected by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The opening weekend harvest decreased 11.5% from last year\u2019s official opening weekend harvest of 10,889 deer. This was 7.2% lower than the 5-year average of 10,384 deer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The harvest total <\/span>included 4,545 <\/span>antlered <\/span>and 4,771 <\/span>antlerless white-tailed deer, <\/span>and 160 <\/span>antlered <\/span>and 157 antlerless <\/span>sika deer. The two-week deer firearm season runs through Dec. 13.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Although the opening weekend firearms season deer harvest was down slightly, we expect the full firearms season harvest to be similar to years past<\/span>,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>Wildlife and Heritage Service<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Director Karina Stonesifer said. \u201cFirearms season, the most popular deer hunting season in Maryland, offers many hunters a wonderful opportunity to spend time outdoors, provide meals for their families, and assist in managing the abundant deer herd across Maryland.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hunters <\/span>harvested 2,085 deer <\/span>on the Sunday of the opening weekend. <\/span>Despite not being open in all counties,<\/span> the Sunday harvest represented 21.6% of the two-day harvest total.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hunters in Region A, which includes Allegany, Garrett, and western Washington counties, harvested 1,008 antlered deer, a <\/span>6.7% decrease <\/span>from last year. Hunters in Region B, comprising the rest of the state, <\/span>harvested 3,767 antlered and 4,928 antlerless<\/span> deer. The antlered harvest <\/span>was down 6.9% while the antlerless harvest decreased 14.5% from last <\/span>year in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n

Junior hunters harvested <\/span>2,120 <\/span>deer during the\u00a0<\/span>Junior Deer Hunt Days<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Nov. 15-16. The harvest was <\/span>a 14.9% decrease from <\/span>the official harvest of 2,490 last year. Juniors <\/span>registered 1,485 antlered <\/span>and <\/span>635 a<\/span>ntlerless deer.<\/span><\/p>\n
