Who says you can't? (from last year's regulation book - I don't think this will change for the upcoming season:
Who May Hunt Without a License?
It is unlawful to hunt without a valid hunting license in your
possession unless you are exempt from this requirement as
described in this section. You are not required to possess a hunting
license or stamps (except the Maryland Migratory Game Bird
Stamp, the federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation
Stamp, and a Furbearer Permit) if you are:
• A resident of Maryland (and their spouse) who owns property
and who hunts only on that property. This also applies to: (1)
the landowner’s children and grandchildren if they are under the
age of 16; and (2) the landowner’s children and grandchildren,
and the spouse of the children or grandchildren, regardless of
age, if the child, grandchild, or their spouse, lives on the property,
has worked on the property for at least 30 days during the
preceding 12 months, or manages the property. Each person
must individually qualify under these criteria. To qualify for this
exemption, a landowner does not need to live on the property
but must be able to prove ownership.

Notes:
• Hunters not required to have a license must obtain a Maryland
Big Game Harvest Record from a Maryland Sport License agent
at no charge.
• Nonresidents of Maryland who own property in the state and
hunt on that property are required to purchase a Nonresident
Hunting License.
• Individuals who are exempt from Maryland hunting license
requirements are subject to all State and federal laws and regulations
relative to hunting and trapping.
• The Hunter Education and Safety Requirement applies to all
individuals hunting in Maryland, even if they are exempt from
the requirement to purchase a hunting license (see page 12).
