DNR invites public to attend deer open house in McIntosh Aug. 30

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ area wildlife managers are hosting an open house in McIntosh on Thursday, August 30, 6 to 8 p.m., at the McIntosh Community Center, 240 Cleveland Ave. SW.
The open house is meant to encourage discussions about deer and deer management, enhance local relationships and foster two-way communication. It is one of the first steps identified for implementing the state’s new White-tailed Deer Management Plan and will provide hunters and others interested in deer a forum for sharing their observations, talking to DNR wildlife managers, reviewing new deer-related information – including the final deer plan – and discussing options for the future.
No formal presentations have been planned, so people can arrive any time during the scheduled time.
The DNR encourages anyone who can’t attend to contact the local wildlife manager for additional information or to address any questions about deer management. A list of area wildlife offices is available online at mndnr.gov/areas/wildlife.
