Minnesota DNR Update 

Minnesota DNR Update 

August 19, 2025 News -- KRJB-KRJM-KKCQ 0

The state of Minnesota has implemented some changes that will have effects on future deer seasons in Minnesota. DNR Wild Life Supervisor for Northwest Minnesota says hunters in shotgun-only zones could see those restrictions lifted next year. 

With a positive CWD test near Hawley being reported last season, Baden says some hunters will see carcass movement restrictions for their zone. 

Finally, Baden says if there’s anybody with questions about the upcoming seasons, or they would like to give feedback, the DNR office in Detroit Lakes will be holding an open house later this week.
