Not the land of plenty

[Ultradog]

The Minnesota 2013 hunting regs were posted yesterday.

Map shows the various zones, areas and what deer you can take.

We're not known as a land of plenty though some areas look like they have lots of deer.

I hunt in area 155.

So you have choice of buck or doe?

Guess this state is on the other end of the extreme. Liberal limits here allow for me to take 3 does each and every day our seasons are open and I am allowed 3 bucks. I only usually kill one deer a year anymore here, some years go without but with other hunters hunting our farm someone in our family will help with putting meat in the freezer.

1 deer.... buck or doe is what you can get. not a lot that's for sure. sounds like they're trying to building the herd up. here in NY you can buy tags for 3 deer total, but throughout different seasons with different weapons. then just like Minnesota higher populated areas you can apply for an antlerless permit. report in with a doe and you can get a bonus permit, and keep filling that with a doe and having the doe get checked at a station and you'll keep getting them. only for high density, well people populated areas though.

they put out any kind of report or something for you guys to let you know what the plan is over the next handful of years?

Hmmm, I used to live in Watonwan county (somewhere around area 206) and I remember there being a ton of deer around there. You really had to watch the road at night because you would always see deer. I only gun hunted back then, but if I remember correctly everybody in our group had one tag each...some had antlered only and some had antlerless only. We would eat through one deer in about 2 months at our house.

Remember..the Wolves only eat the sick and injured deer....and livestock, and dogs. Thank a bleeding heart Liberal Anti Hunting Tree Hugging Animal Actavist
