According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the period for revised deer population goals in southwestern and a portion of northern Minnesota has been extended to Thursday, May 10. “A number of people have already provided us input using the online survey since April 16,” said Steve Merchant, DNR Wildlife Population Program manager. “Extending the date to May 10 assures we have provided adequate time for public comment.” Deer population goals for the remainder of the state will be reevaluated in the next year or two. Therefore, the DNR is allowing public comment on whether deer populations should be increased, decreased or stabilized for each of the extended permit areas. For those of you interested in this reevaluation you can take the survey online at mndnr.gov/deergoals.
