News # 13722
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources is introducing a new online-only process for Maryland hunters to apply for a 2020-2021 waterfowl blind site license. The department is using this virtual process to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
From now through July 28 at 11:59 p.m, hunters may enter the lottery for the opening days of blind site licensing through the department’s Compass portal at https://compass.dnr.maryland.gov/. Hunters can register to be entered into a random lottery for a county of their choice. Landowners who would like to license their property may also enter the same lottery.
There is no charge to enter the lottery. Hunters must be Maryland residents and must have purchased either a 2019-2020 or 2020-2021 Maryland hunting license prior to their appointment to license sites.
