Minnesota DNR seeks input on deer population goals


Get insight into deer population goal setting next week during webinars scheduled for the 28 deer permit areas that will have their goals adjusted in 2022.

Affected areas are in portions of the southeast, Arrowhead and north central areas of Minnesota. Webinars are scheduled:

  • Monday, Jan. 24, for north central DPAs
  • Wednesday, Jan. 26, for northeast DPAs
  • Thursday, Jan. 27, for southeast DPAs

People are strongly encouraged to attend the webinar for their DPA before formulating their responses to the online questionnaire on goal setting. At each webinar, the DNR will present additional information about each goal-setting block, seek participant input and answer questions. 

The DNR establishes deer population goals — how much of an increase or decrease is desired in a deer population in a particular DPA — as part of managing the state’s wild deer.
