Minnesota Deer Season Kicks Off November 9

The Minnesota Rifle Deer season kicks off November 9, and thousands of hunters will be taking to the Minnesota wilderness in hopes of harvesting a deer. Minnesota DNR Northwest Area Wildlife Supervisor Rob Baden says that hunters will likely see a young and smaller deer herd this season. 

Baden says there are also new hunting regulations in place that all hunters should be aware of. 

Finally Baden says the Minnesota DNR will be loosening up on their Chronic Wasting Disease testing after heavy testing the last few deer seasons. 

More information on Minnesota DNR rules and regulations can be found in the Minnesota DNR Field Guide or online at www.dnr.state.mn.us.
