Minnesota’s late CWD hunt took place this past weekend, Dec. 15-17, in seven 600 Series deer permit areas and one in the 300 Series DPAs. The Minnesota DNR saw a decrease in harvest from last year’s CWD hunt.
Todd Froberg, DNR big-game program coordinator, said this year’s harvest during the special disease-management hunt totaled 559 deer, compared with last year’s harvest total of 610. He added that the total deer harvest in 2023 is still 8% lower than last year’s total.
