Minnesota’s deer kill is up from 2023 as hunt winds down

As the firearms deer-hunting season drew to a close across much of Minnesota on Sunday, Nov. 17, firearms hunters had killed around 111,791 deer, a 5% increase from last year’s harvest, according to preliminary Minnesota DNR reports.
“(It’s) good news compared to last year. So harvest is up everywhere, so that’s good,” said Todd Froberg, the DNR’s big-game coordinator.
Froberg said he expects that when all deer-hunting seasons are over this year, total harvest will see about a 5% increase over last year’s take of 158,678 deer.
