Hunters register 54,000 deer during first weekend
Minnesota hunters registered
54,000 deer during the first three
days of firearms deer season, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
Final numbers from the weekend show that the number of deer
registered dropped 30,000 from
2013. So far this year, including special hunts and the archery
season, hunters have harvested
67,000 deer, down from the 2013
to-date harvest total of 100,000.
“Comparing this year’s harvest to harvests in previous years
doesn’t necessarily reflect hunter
opportunity or the number of deer
on the landscape in 2014,” said
Leslie McInenly, DNR big game
program leader. This year’s lower
harvest is by design because regu- Thad Olson of Clarissa was one of thousands around the state

off limits to increase Minnesota’s
deer population.
The DNR’s ongoing deer management work also includes upcoming revisions to the deer population
goals for large portions of northeastern, north-central and east-central Minnesota. This is part of a multiyear goal-setting process for the entire state. People interested in helping set these deer population goals
can get more information on the process and opportunities for involvement at www.mndnr.gov/deer.
In much of Minnesota, the deer season continues through Sunday, November 16. Additional deer will
be harvested during the northern rifle zone season, which continues through Sunday, November 23; the late
southeastern season, which runs Saturday, November 22, through Sunday, November 30; and the muzzleloader season, which begins Saturday, November 29, and continues through Sunday, December 14.
