What qualifies a hunter to participate in a managed hunt?
All managed hunt participants must complete a written pre- screening questionnaire delineating safety issues, personal experience and history, and personal motivations. As part of the pre-screening, a background check is completed to ensure that the applicant does not have a history of DNR violations. If the questionnaire and background check are passed, the applicant may be approved to participate in the hunt lottery. If selected, the screening and background check are passed, the hunter must present: his/her Photo I.D., Hunter Safety Card, a current MD hunting license, and a State Shooter Qualification Card demonstrating his/her proficiency with the firearm they plan to use for the hunting program. Only then will the hunter be permitted to participate in the program.
