Minnesota deer harvest still lagging behind 2022’s total after start of muzzleloader season

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, National News, News /

Minnesota’s deer firearms season concluded Nov. 26 with the end of the 3B hunt, and deer harvest numbers remain down by 7% compared with 2022. There are a few deer hunting opportunities left, like muzzleloader (ends Dec. 10), archery, and a chronic wasting disease management hunt, before the final harvest numbers are complete.
Todd Froberg, Minnesota DNR big-game program coordinator, said he expects that 7% to stay consistent through the last month of hunting. If so, this will be the fourth straight year of decreased harvest totals.

Not long ago, a buddy of mine showed me a picture on his phone a buddy of his had sent. It was a massive brown trout – at least six pounds by my eye – caught from a smallish, unheralded stream.
“He kept that fish,” my buddy said.
I shrugged. If it was legally taken, he had every right, despite an unofficial taboo in the trout fishing community against keeping trout. I wouldn’t have kept that fish, but that’s neither here nor there.
