Deer hunters are invited to attend listening sessions hosted by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association (MDHA).
“We’ve been hearing that deer numbers are too low and this year’s severe winter is exacerbating those concerns in many regions,” said Leslie McInenly, DNR big game program leader. “These listening sessions will give deer hunters and the general public an opportunity to communicate directly with DNR staff who make deer management decisions.”
Mark Johnson, MDHA executive director, said, “We’re pleased to be able to offer these meetings so people regardless of their affiliation or interest can express their opinions on deer populations.”
