Updated map of the former shotgun zone with hunting permit area overlay. This should be a great research opportunity to study doe harvest rates, buck age class, success rates, and hunter satisfaction. Hopefully the MNDNR starts tracking some more useful data so we can make more informed deer management decisions!
Our testimony on this was focused around the increase in range resulting in a higher buck harvest which could be problematic.
Thanks RVAA Training / River Valley Arms and Ammo of Morton, MN for putting this map together!
