I am also from Maryland. Like David says every deer has to be checked in. Most check in stations are a hunting/fishing store or a gas station. I have checked deer in during bow season and they didnt even come out of the store and look at the deer. They asked me what it was and how much I thought it weighed.

During gun season sometimes there is someone there from the DNR and they have bolt cutters and will age your deer if you want. They have a chart of jawbones to go by.
