Maryland Trophy Deer Contest
The 2009 Maryland Trophy Deer Contest recognizes the “top” deer in each county taken during the 2007-2008 deer hunting seasons for the Maryland State Record Book. Highest scoring bucks (typical and nontypical) are recognized for white-tailed deer taken during each of the vertical bow, crossbow, muzzleloader, and firearms seasons. The Boone and Crockett method of scoring is used. A separate category for sika deer is also available.
The 2009 contest will be held at the Southern Maryland Hunting and Outdoor Expo on August 15, and 16, 2009. The Southern Maryland Expo is located at the Charles County Fairgrounds in LaPlata, Maryland. The Contest is cosponsored by the Maryland Bowhunters Society and the DNR Wildlife & Heritage Service. For more information regarding the time and location of the 2009 contest contact Mr. Walter “Tinker” Johnson at 301-349-2413. For additional information contact Mr. Johnson, or DNR at 301-842-0332.
