Duluth, Minn. Hunters, including those who pursue white-tailed deer, are welcome on national forests in the state. Permanent stands and blinds are not.

While permanent stands are illegal, portable stands may be used
if they do not damage live trees and are removed at the end of the
hunt. Free-standing blinds or elevated stands that are movable also
may be used.

Policies differ on national forest lands regarding the use of
off-highway vehicles. Hunters are encouraged to contact the ranger
district office closest to the area they plan to hunt for specific
information. See Page 127 of the 2003 Minnesota Hunting and
Trapping Regulations Handbook for more info, or call (218)
