Special late-season deer hunt set for Dec. 27 to Jan. 11 in Permit Area 101 in northwestern Minnesota (December 11, 2008)

A special late-season deer hunt will be held Dec. 27 through Jan. 11 in Permit Area 101 in northwestern Minnesota, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

The hunt is part of the state’s ongoing bovine tuberculosis (TB) surveillance and eradication efforts.

Details of the hunt include:

hunters may take an unlimited number of deer of either sex
deer can be tagged with any remaining unused tags from the 2008 season
hunters can use any 2008 license or permit from any deer area
hunters must have a license and use the legal weapon for that license
new or replacement licenses may be obtained at any Electronic Licensing System agent; hunters can also purchase additional disease management permits for $2.50
all harvested deer must be registered at one of the following registration stations during regular business hours: Olson Skime Store in Skime; Riverfront Store in Wannaska; or the DNR offices at Thief Lake or Red Lake wildlife management areas
Once the late season hunt concludes in January, the DNR will conduct another aerial survey of the area to determine current deer abundance and distribution. The agency can then contract with ground and aerial sharpshooters to further reduce deer populations in the bovine TB core area.

I did not, but I would and will if I have the opportunity. Is anyone doing this this year?

I just mapquested it and the southern most area is 390 miles from my doorstep.

If it was closer I would probably give it a shot. I do know of a couple die-hards from my town that traveled up there last year though.

Is there a lot of public land up there? Any one know of any specifics? Thanks.

I used to hunt up there every year. We hunted the Aggazi wildlife area and some of the private land next to it. That might be a little NE of where we hunted. Maybe I should go up there with my AR-15
