ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota deer hunting licenses go on
sale Monday.
At the same time, the Department of Natural Resources will post
the state's updated hunting regulations online at
http://www.mndnr.gov/buyalicense . Printed booklets will be
available in mid-August where hunting licenses are sold.
The archery deer season opens Sept. 17. The general firearms
season opens Nov. 5. The deadline for lottery permit applications
is Sept. 8.
Big game program coordinator Lou Cornicelli (korn-ih-SEL'-lee)
says it should be a good season. He says deer populations are at or
near goals throughout much of the state.
Some of the new regulations reflect efforts to protect deer from
chronic wasting disease. A management area with special regulations
has been set up in southeastern Minnesota surrounding the area
where a deer that tested positive was taken last fall.
