More than 400,000 deer hunters are preparing for the firearms deer season that opens Saturday, Nov. 9. The season offers opportunities to spend time outdoors with friends and family, find adventure and put venison in the freezer. Deer hunting is the primary tool used to manage deer populations, and hunters help keep deer numbers in

line with population goals across the state. Managing deer populations contributes to the overall health of Minnesota’s landscapes, natural systems and economy. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ wildlife staff report that there should be good opportunities to harvest deer in most areas. Hunters should know the deer permit area number for where they plan to hunt prior to buying a license and ensure they understand chronic wasting disease regulations and sampling options for that area. Hunters can find these details using the DPA lookup tool.
