R.I.P.
I THINK? I read that if you sell a mount at a flee market you Need to have a DNR tag. Or maybe somebody at work just told me that?

I tan the hides but i want to make sure its legal to sell
Not sure, if it's native to Maryland there may be a problem. Something like a pronghorn and NOT endangered is probably GTG.

I think the only restrictions are migratory birds. You should check with the bureaucracy before you sell them to be sure.
It was, but last year the DNR enacted a Chronic Wasting Disease area, hides from
these areas may be a problem. Check the website to see if the harvested deer is
under this area.

Does this mean i can sell the hide just not a mount

Not 100% sure about MD but in PA selling deer hides is perfectly legal but they only go for $5 a piece if they're in good shape.

Even I don't know the full answer to this one! In my circumstance, I am able to sell some tanned hides. People give me hides, and I aquire my own. But I have a taxidermist lisc, so that can change things. As for deer mounts, I can only sell unclaimed ones after trying to find the zombies who left them with me. I can sell fox, coon, etc mounts all day and night- furbearers legal to take in MD or that are not native here ( ringtail cat, lynx, wolverine...).
I do know that you can sell raw deer hides to a lisc'd fur dealer, as well as other legally taken raw pelts such as fox and other furbearers. In my case people shoot foxes, coons, whatever, and give them to me rather than toss them. Plus some trap for the hell of it or to remove a nuisance beaver or whatever, and give me the animals. I wish someone would give me otters and fishers LOL. Already tagged of course.

Talk to Mary Goldie, permits coordinator for DNR, she knows everything and will send you a letter affirming whatever if you request it. You can also get a letter from her to posess a roadkill furbearer out of season such as if you find a fresh intact fox pup in balto co and want to get it mounted. Freeze such ASAP and contact her on the next business day ( pups usually hit at night/found at night).
BTW you cannot sell tanned bobcat/bobcat parts/mounts, black bear anything, or north american porcupine anything, and animals such as lynx, wolf, wolverine, grizzly bear, river otter, fisher, marten, need to have CITES tag or CITES paperwork ( Canadian taken animals). Mt lion needs the pelt tag, or CITES if from Canada. The bobcat/black bear/porky thing may have changed in some way in recent years, I don't know. You can buy these from out of state with tags/bill of sale ( bill of sale for porky-I don't think anyplace requires tagging them) for your own personal use, but can't resell in MD. You can buy and sell shed antlers insofar as I know.
Yes it is like FFL regs- confusing as hell and hard to remember it all. Trapping regs are almost as bad.
