Scouted, managed, and rested.

We pride ourselves on superior land management, careful scouting and close attention to pressure, to give our hunters the best opportunities to get that trophy-size buck in their sights.

Talbot County is an ideal location to bag a whitetail deer, and every Tidewater deer hunt is guided by someone who has hunted it for forty years. Hunt it with a bow, a rifle or a muzzleloader.

“Hunting with Rennie and Tidewater Guide Service was an amazing hunt. I was able to bag my first buck in Maryland in no time. I would highly recommend Tidewater Guide Service to anyone who wants to hunt the Eastern Shore of Maryland.”
