Provide input on 2024 deer populations, observations
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is seeking public input via an online survey on 2024 deer populations and observations. The survey includes questions about experiences hunters had during the deer hunting season; issues related to damage deer might have done to crops, landscaping or gardens; and other deer-related issues. People can also share their input on proposed boundary changes for deer permit areas 101, 111, 183, 208 and 268.
The Minnesota DNR will use the feedback to shape regulations for the 2025 hunting season. The survey is open through Monday, Feb. 10 and available on the DNR deer management webpage.
