CWD area
CWD Disease Surveillance Area. CWD was first detected in a wild Maryland deer in Allegany County in November 2010. Maryland’s CWD Management Area covers 7 western/central counties: Allegany, Washington, Frederick, Carroll, Baltimore, Montgomery and Howard. In the Management Area, whole carcasses may not leave except to an approved processor/taxidermist — only deboned meat, quarters with no spine/head, cleaned hide/skull cap, antlers with no tissue, and finished mounts may be moved out. Importing whole carcasses/high-risk parts from another state’s CWD area is prohibited. Confirm the current rules with MD DNR.
