The moose, which hasn’t been officially named but people call it “Bullwinkle or Rut the moose,” started being tracked in southern Minnesota near the Iowa border. Since then, he’s traveled north with the latest reports being in Spicer, Minn., on Nov. 1.

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

The Minnesota Governor’s Deer Hunting Opener takes place in Lanesboro, Nov. 3-4, to kick off a tradition for Minnesotans across the state. It’s the start to a nine- or 16-day firearms deer-hunting season.

Deer hunt opener ’23: “It’s a tradition that a lot of Minnesotans share”

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

The Minnesota firearms deer opener is Saturday, and for many it’s about tradition and creating new stories at deer camps across the state. The Minnesota DNR expects to see many hunters in blaze orange roaming around private property, wildlife management areas, and other lands in hopes of harvesting a memorable deer for the season. 
As of Monday, there weren’t expected to be as many hunters in the woods as last year because there’s been a drop in firearms deer license sales. Barb Keller, the DNR’s big-game program leader, said she hopes to see more sales leading into opener weekend.

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

Zach Day loved dirt bike riding as a kid and eventually saved enough money to buy his own bike in high school.
On Aug. 1, 2021, Day went off-roading and looked backward for a moment to check on his group. When he turned back around, he collided with a tree and his world flipped upside down.
He broke 10 bones, including his collarbone, and four nerves were damaged on his spine, paralyzing his left arm. Day had to adapt from using two arms to one arm in his daily life. A hardcore trap shooter, Day had to learn how to use one arm to hold and shoot a gun.

Reason for optimism heading into Minnesota’s 2023 trapping season?

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

During the past couple of months, the focus has been on hunting seasons across Minnesota. But at the end of October, most of the trapping seasons kick off with many factors influencing success. 
Bert Highland, Minnesota Trappers Association vice president, said factors like weather and fur prices will determine whether the trapping season is successful. 
“It is dependent on fur prices for a lot of people,” Highland said. “Limiting factors, I would say the number one, I guess even greater than fur prices, is weather. If we get an early freeze, that curtails a lot of the trapping activity. People just don’t want to deal with the snow and the ice.”
