RE: Western Maryland
Deer numbers are not bad for doe's. Bucks on the other hand are a little harder to find. If you are looking for racks...don't. Spikes up there are considered trophies.
I would start by driving into the low lying areas and cross fifteen mile creek to where the deer find a little more solitude. You can get on a ridge there and set up for some deer feeding on adjacent ridges.
Be prepared to do some hiking. It's a little demanding, but a nice experience.
Good Luck
