Deer Population Goal Setting 2020-2023

Do you have thoughts about deer populations in the areas you work, live and recreate? The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources wants your ideas about how to manage populations in deer permit areas in Minnesota. 

Goal Setting Process

Over the next four years, deer population goals will be updated for the entire state.  Based on public input, the goal setting process has been updated to include online public input opportunities.  Goal setting will occur each winter in the indicated years for each block. 

To get involved click HERE for the website and details on input opportunities, deer permit areas included in each block, and more information about goal setting. Click HERE to see the MNDNR flyer showing the Statewide goal-setting blocks.
