Minnesota prepares for deer hunts
The DNR says early sign-ups can help hunters avoid delays as archery licenses sell well and 186,000 deer were harvested last year.
- Ahead of the Sept 19 archery opener, Minnesota DNR big game program leader Paul Burr urges hunters to purchase licenses early to avoid potential technical issues with the new electronic licensing system.
- Burr recommends registering two weeks in advance, noting that 150,000 people registered for firearms licenses last year within two days of the season, risking system glitches at the last minute.
- Anyone interested in applying for a special deer hunt or permit area lottery must purchase a license and use the specific hunt number, with the Sept 10 deadline for antlerless deer applications.
- Stable bag limits and a mild winter in the northwest region suggest Minnesota's deer population is healthy and could sustain increased harvests this year, according to Paul Burr.
- Archery season runs through Dec 31, while Rifle hunters begin Nov 7, with North Dakota's Rifle season starting Nov 6, providing extended opportunities across the region.
