Firearm and muzzleloader hunters who want to harvest antlerless deer in a deer permit area designated as antlerless permit lottery this hunting season are reminded they must purchase their license by Thursday, Sept. 9.
Hunters who purchase their license before this date are automatically entered into the lottery for the deer permit area or special hunt area they declare.
No application is needed to take antlerless deer in permit areas with either sex, two-deer limit, three-deer limit or five-deer limit designations.
Hunters who want to participate in special firearm or muzzleloader deer hunts also need to apply for permits that are issued through a lottery, and that application deadline is also Sept. 9.
More information about designations and regulations for deer permit areas, as well as details about special hunt opportunities, are available at dnr.state.mn.us/hunting
They can also be found in the 2021 Minnesota Hunting and Trapping Regulations Handbook.
