Chestnut Manor Farms
Hunting Rules and Regulations

At Chestnut Manor Farms we are committed to making sure your hunting experience is not only unique, exciting and fun but safe. In order to give you and your hunting party the best hunting experience we request that you read through the following information and sign if you agree to the polices.

1. The hunter is responsible for his/her own actions as well as those actions of their hunting party.
2. CMF will not be responsible for injuries, damage or death in the unlikely event should something happen.
3. There will be no alcoholic beverages allowed during the hunt. Any beverages may be stored in the lodge for consumption when the weapons are put away after the hunt.
4. No recreational drugs will be tolerated at any time during your stay at CMF.
5. CMF will not be responsible for items left in the blinds, deer stands and Lodge. We will make every effort to help locate items that may be misplaced.
6. Please be respectful of our animals and crops because this is our livelihood.
7. All weapons must be unloaded when climbing into and out of the stand/blinds.
8. Refrain from urinating and defecating in the wildlife habitat, it drives the animals away.
9. Must wear safety harness at all times when in the deer stand.
10. Deer hunters must stay in stands until notified by their guide. You will be escorted to and from the stand for your safety and for the success of our wildlife trophy management.
11. Contact your guide when you have harvested a deer. Hunters must not track without a guide! Do not leave the stand until the guide arrives. Tracking it may lead to putting yourself in harms way because fellow hunters are out there with you.
12. Tracking will be left to the discretion of the guide after prime hunting hours. This ensures a better hunting experience so people won’t wander in other hunting parameters.
13. No field dressing in the woods, this will be taken care of by your guide at the lodge.
14. CMF bag limits on deer hunting are as follows: 1 trophy buck and 2 doe per hunter.
15. Any buck harvested must be shoulder mounted which allows us to regulate our trophy bucks. Everyone’s idea of a trophy may be different as long as it is worth your $400 mounting fee from Trail’s End Taxidermy or Council Taxidermy.
16. Hunters must abide by all DNR rules and regulations.
17. Prior to the hunt, it is the hunter's responsibility to get a MD State hunting license.
18. Guide gratuities are common practice and are not included in daily fees.
19. Drop off at stands prior to sunrise and 1:30 p.m. for afternoon hunt. Pick up stands no earlier than 10:30 for morning hunts and sundown for afternoon hunts.
20. Rack and cape stay together at all times at Trail's End Taxidermy or Council Taxidermy.
21. Rack will be scored by an official from B&C or P&Y. Then an official card will be sent to you for your authentication.
22. CMF has the option to replicate your rack for display purposes.

Please make us aware of any issues that you may have with these policies. Strict adherence is advised and any violation will result in immediate removal from the property and no refunds will be given.

Thanks,
Temple Rhodes
