As Minnesota’s remaining deer farmers stare at an impending Sept. 1 deadline to adhere to new fencing requirements, a federal judge last week dealt the farmers another blow in dismissing a lawsuit aimed at 2023 and 2024 legislative actions regarding those farms, and in also denying a temporary injunction request targeting the new fencing rules.
John Tunheim, a U.S. district court judge, issued the ruling Aug. 14. An attorney for the Minnesota Deer Farmers Association immediately stated the group would appeal the ruling.

I don’t know about you, but as the buyer of a host of hunting and fishing licenses and stamps each year, I tend to sleep easier knowing that the money I spend, which in turn is spent by the Minnesota DNR, is being properly routed.
In other words, spent for its intended purposes. Thus it’s good to know, too, that for the past 30 years, there’s been a group of citizens to oversee that spending – those dollars that flow from the DNR’s Game and Fish Fund – as best they can. That group of citizens – for at least a few more months – comprise the Fisheries Oversight and the Wildlife Oversight committees.
With angling pressure about one-third of Minnesota DNR projections and a walleye take that’s just over 26% of the total allowable state angler kill, DNR officials told members of the Mille Lacs Lake Fisheries Advisory Committee on Monday that they’re proposing – beginning Aug. 16 – a two-fish walleye limit with a harvest slot of 18 to 20 inches (with one over 28 inches allowed in possession).
The department originally had planned to allow for a one-fish limit and a harvest slot of 21 to 23 inches.
“There are still signatures that need to go on documents,” said Brad Parsons, DNR Fisheries Section manager, who said that was likely to occur this week.
