DULUTH, Minn. — Deer hunters across Minnesota will have about the same opportunities to bag a deer or two this fall compared to last, except in parts of northern Minnesota, where a deep-snow winter pushed the Department of Natural Resources to reduce the number of antlerless deer permits in an effort to rebuild the herd.
DNR wildlife managers released the details of all 2022 deer hunting seasons Monday — the first day that deer hunting licenses went on sale.
"Overall, it looks pretty similar to what we saw last year," Barb Keller, big game program manager for the DNR, said of both the state's deer population and hunter opportunities.
