Chronic Wasting Disease
Frederick County is inside the Chronic Wasting Disease Management Area, so there are extra rules on moving a carcass out of the area and on where you can have it processed. Worth knowing before you plan the drive home.

Before you call
Give the tracker the best chance
Back out and stop grid searching. Walking the area spreads scent and turns a clean line into a puzzle. Mark the hit site and the last blood you found, note the time of the shot and what the deer did, then call. In Maryland you also need to notify the Natural Resources Police before a dog starts tracking, and the dog stays leashed the whole time.
Not sure whether a dog or a drone fits your situation? Our dog or drone guide walks through when each one wins.
