Welcome to bucks-bears-Stags!

The Official Record-Keeper for Maryland Trophy Deer and Bears

Bucks-Bears-Stags, established in 2017, is the official record-keeping organization for Maryland’s Big Game Species: White-Tailed Deer, Black Bears, and Sika Deer Stags. We published Maryland’s first comprehensive big game record book titled Maryland’s Finest: The Records and the Legacy, with plans to publish the Second Edition in 2023.

The Mission of Bucks-Bears-Stags is to celebrate the long-honored heritage of recreational hunting in Maryland. Excellent habitat, fertile soil and science-based wildlife management have given us a world-class White-tailed Deer herd, a robust and expanding American Black Bear population, and a unique "Maryland-only" residency of Sika Deer.

 

Youth Measuring

We believe that the future of hunting rests with the young, therefore we encourage Youth participation and offer measuring for Youth-captured game.
