I picked up a copy of the regs at the local Holiday. Didn't notice anything too exciting. Mostly a one deer state with the transition area being Hunter Choice and a few areas being Managed (two deer.) Only Intensive areas being that far SE tip, Duluth, and the Twin Cities.
MN regs are in stores

I have been waiting, thought they were going to get them out earlier this year
I'd prefer to keep party hunting, but limit all tags to a lottery system.
But yeah, right now we really don't have a one deer state. :( I hear too many stories of non-hunting wives getting a deer every year.

If we don't arm the masses with the +/- of shooting adult does, excessive anterless harvest wont end here in MN. And why should it? If the DNR can manage for 500,000 deer, why would they want to house 1 million?

Its not just a MN problem. My uncle had the balls to call me last year from the woods to come tag his deer for him after he had already gotten 3 bow hunting and one opening weekend of gun season. Not sure who he got to come out but then he showed up at the 2nd weekend complaining he doesn't see the deer numbers he use too.

Anyone know how many doe permits they are allowing for 172??

He doesn't. He is that one uncle everyone seems to have. He stopped being part of the family tradition and went off on his own. Needs to show up every year to tell us all how great of a hunter he is.

My daughters have the same uncle as you guys. Are we related?;)
1,000 antlerless permits for 172.
should mean about 2000 antlerless get shot in that area:confused: with youth, elderly, disabled, and bow tags.

I don't think they can stu they have to apply like everybody else right?
The DNR are mostly archers who have a bias and don't want to restrict themselves, maybe. Years back it was made so that muzzleloaders could do the same, shoot an antlerless statewide. Lou C. an avid muzzleloader was at the helm at the time. I tried to convince him it was a grave mistake in the farmland areas that are lottery every year. The muzzleloader permits only lasted one year, and many areas in the farmland went to youth-only antlerless areas the following year.
Archers can't shoot an antlerless in youth-only and bucks-only areas, but can in lottery areas. In the lottery areas without having to go through the lottery, their tag is automatically an either/or tag, not just a buck tag. Lottery areas are normally the tightest restrictions we see, but not this year or last year. Congrats MDDI!
