Rules for Archery Hunting on AGC Property
August 2026

1) Applicable rules and regulations: Hunters must possess a valid hunting license, an AGC range badge, and follow all applicable rules and
regulations while hunting on AGC property, this includes wearing orange during firearm seasons. Only non-permanent tree stands may be
used. Hunting on AGC property is for archery only. You can leave your stand, blind, or cameras in the woods, but if they disappear, it’s not the
responsibility of the AGC. We cannot control trespassers.
2) Identification: Hunters on AGC property will always put their range badge on their dashboard or keep it with them. If questioned by a
Range Safety Officer (RSO), confirmation can be achieved thought the sign-in sheet and the AGC range badge.
3) Hunting area: Hunting during range operations is only permitted in the hunting zone. The zone is further subdivided with only one hunter
permitted in each division, except junior hunters (see rule 16). Divisions are assigned by signing up for them and receiving confirmation via
email (first come-first serve, please provide 48 hours for turnaround approval). The divisions are marked along the middle of each division.
Stay within 10 yards of the center of each division (this provides adequate spread between hunters).
4) Game limits: Once there are 50 deer taken from the property the season will close. The goal is to limit the deer herd, not to eliminate
them. If the season ends early all hunters will be notified by e-mail.
5) Times & Dates: Access to the hunting zone is possible with prior reservation for the day. A maximum of four time slots a week can be
reserved. Please note that reservations are not a guarantee until confirmed by the hunting committee.
6) Sign in and out: Before entering the hunting area, hunters with reservations will sign in with their name and cell phone number for their
hunting division at the AGC front entrance gate (gate will be locked prior to operating hours). Hunters will stay in the assigned division for
the duration of the hunt unless tracking wounded deer. They will sign out when leaving the property. Please sign out at the end of each hunt.
7) Access to hunting zones: To minimize disruption of range operations, hunters may only access and egress from the hunting zone by the designated
paths. Do NOT drive pass area 4, it is not our driveway beyond this point. Hunters must park in the designated parking area in front of the pool house.
8) Shooting: No shooting towards the houses, over the driveway or toward the positions of other hunters.
9) Tracking of wounded deer: Deer may be tracked on our property. If a deer moves to a neighboring property, the hunter is responsible for getting
permission from the owner to retrieve the deer. If you must track a deer out of the hunting area you MUST call the RSO at 410-461-8532.

10) Transportation of deer: Deer may be field dressed on the spot of the kill or in the tree line behind the pool house.
11) Reporting: The hunter will report deer sightings and successful shots to the hunting committee to refine our understanding of deer movement. Taken
game must be registered on the AGC Hunter Sign-In Sheet prior to leaving the property and reported by e-mail to the hunting committee. Include the
following data:
Sex
Weight (approximately)
Estimated age (young, mature, old)
Please report all information to the hunting committee by e-mail at louie.dog1@hotmail.com
12) Game other than deer: While the hunt is for deer only, both coyote and fox may be taken if encountered. All DNR regulations apply. Please report all
the killings. Remember you need a Furbearers Stamp.
13) Trash: All trash (i.e., soda bottles, cans, food containers, etc.) must be removed from the hunting area! Violators will lose their hunting rights for the
remainder of the season. Please report any trash in your area to me so that you are not accused of littering.
14) Bait: Corn will be allowed as bait as well as other legal baits but be aware that anyone can hunt on a baited area. Baiting an area does not make it your
area. You may only use bait from 12 noon to 2:00PM or after the day’s hunt is over. You can only bait an area if no one is hunting on it or if you have it
reserved.
15) Reservations: Reservations can be made by e-mail. Send all requests to louie.dog1@hotmail.com. Please provide notices 48 hours
in advance. If you do not have internet access, please contact the Hunting Coordinator on phone 410-925-2518.
Reservations can be made for either an AM or PM time slot for a specific area (1 through 4). AM time slots start at legal shooting time to
2pm. PM time slots will begin at 2:00PM and last until the end of the legal shooting time. All reservations are first come first served. If a time
slot is open but the area is already taken, you will be notified. This will allow up to eight hunters in a day.
16) Junior Hunters: All junior hunters must stay within line-of-sight of their senior hunter while hunting, scouting, or tracking game. All
junior hunters must stay in their reserved hunting area unless tracking game. Junior hunters must have a Maryland State
Shooter’s Qualification Card and sign-in on the AGC Hunter Sign-In Sheet prior to hunting.
17) Scouting: Scouting is encouraged on Sundays. Scouting will not be allowed in areas that are currently assigned.
18) Hunting Committee: If you encounter anything out of place, observe rule infractions. or have any suggestions to improve the hunting
area, please send an e-mail to the hunting committee at louie.dog1@hotmail.com.
