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.
- Minnesota DNR big game program leader Paul Burr urges hunters to purchase archery licenses early ahead of the Sept 19 opener 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, creating dangerous last-minute congestion.
- Anyone interested in applying for a special deer hunt or permit area lottery must purchase a license and use the specific hunt number, with Sept 10 marking the antlerless deer lottery deadline.
- Paul Burr noted that the northwest region experienced a mild winter, which combined with stable bag limits suggests the deer population is healthy and could sustain increased harvests across Minnesota this year.
- Archery season runs through Dec 31, while Rifle hunters can begin their season on Nov 7, with North Dakota's rifle opener occurring Nov 6 for cross-border hunters.
