Guide to Hunting & Trapping in Maryland

Maryland Shooter Qualification Sessions Calendar - 2009

Requirements:

All selected applicants must demonstrate proficiency with the weapon to be used during the hunt. A standardized hunter certification has been established for the above hunts, as well as selected managed hunting programs conducted by other local, state and federal agencies. This system allows a hunter to satisfy the proficiency testing requirement by qualifying at a single site, even if selected for more than one managed hunting program. Additional information regarding these proficiency-testing requirements will be made available to successful applicants. Special qualification sessions have been scheduled for this purpose as follows:
