Comments
on proposed deer population goals recommended by citizen advisory teams
in 40 of Minnesota’s 128 deer permit areas are being accepted through
Wednesday, April 15, on the Department of Natural Resources website at www.mndnr.gov/deer.
Specific
population goal recommendations are posted online, along with the
factors advisory team members cited when making recommendations. People
should review this supporting information online before submitting
comments.
Revisiting
deer population goals began in 2012, when similar area teams helped set
new goals for some permit areas in the Windom, Floodwood and Tower
areas. Last year, new goals were set for southeastern Minnesota. The DNR
plans to have new goals in place for all Minnesota deer permit areas
before the 2016 firearms deer season.
More information on the process is available on the DNR’s deer management Web page at www.mndnr.gov/deer.
