Hunters who did not tag a deer or use the either-sex permit during the firearms season may still have a chance to put some venison in the freezer, according to Lou Cornicelli, wildlife research manager for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
“A change this year allows an unused either-sex permit from the firearms season to remain valid for the muzzleloader season, if you have the appropriate license,” Cornicelli said. “The either-sex permit is valid for either season, in the same area, provided you have a license for that season.”
This change applies only to the lottery zone.
Cornicelli reminds hunters in the lottery zone that they are only allowed to tag one deer during the 2011 hunting season. They may not use bonus tags in the lottery zone. They may be able to harvest additional deer in managed, intensive or special hunt areas.
Hunters who wish to take advantage of this change must purchase a license for the muzzleloader season. Licenses can be purchased at any of the 1,500 license agent locations in the state, via telephone at 888-665-4236 or online. A convenience fee is added to telephone and Internet license purchases.
The muzzleloader season in Minnesota runs from Saturday, Nov. 26, until Sunday, Dec. 11.
