Maryland Trophy Deer Contest

The Maryland Trophy Deer Contest recognizes the “Top” deer in each county taken during each deer hunting season 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 and Fallow deer are also available. The contest will be held each year at the Southern Maryland Hunting and Outdoor Expo unless otherwise noted. The Southern Maryland Expo is located at the Charles County Fairgrounds in LaPlata, Maryland. The Contest is co-sponsored by the Maryland Bowhunters Society and the DNR Wildlife & Heritage Service. See our Contest Info page for entry procedures & history of the contest. For more information regarding the time and location of the annual contest, contact Mr. Walter “Tinker” Johnson at 301-349-2413. For any additional information contact Mr. Johnson, or DNR at 301-842-0332.
