What equipment may be used?
Bow hunting is open to both vertical bows and crossbows. Regulations established by the Maryland DNR allow all bow hunters to bow hunt with a crossbow in the Region B Suburban Deer Archery Zone. A special crossbow permit is no longer required. The use of patented portable tree stands is permitted and stands must be removed at the end of the day. Leaving a tree stand overnight is prohibited. Permanent tree stands or blinds of any type are also prohibited.
