Important Note for Maryland
Only Garrett County RegionA private-land antlered white-tailed deer firearms base dates were reviewed from actual linked2026–27 LR7 guide, including its Nov29 and Dec6 private-land Sundays. No RegionB January extension, antlerless/sika/public/managed or other hunt coverage is verified. Check current license/permits, antler-point/bag, rifle/ammunition, clothing/hours, reporting, CWD, access/permission and closures. Historical rows/license-year metadata remain unverified; government calendar403 is an explicit source gap.
