The DNR has released information for the upcoming 2015 deer hunt and it will be a conservative one again. Hunters who desire antlerless permits will have to apply for a lottery in 70 of Minnesota’s 128 deer permit areas. Only bucks can be hunted in 14 areas. Hunters can buy deer licenses and apply to the lottery for antlerless deer permits starting this Saturday. Another change in 2015 is the return of youth-only antlerless harvest for a few areas in southwestern Minnesota. The measure is designed to increase populations into goal range in areas where antlerless harvest under the lottery system hasn’t been restrictive enough to increase deer numbers. Hunters may apply using both their firearm and muzzleloader licenses. Deer hunting licenses, lottery applications and special hunt applications are available at any DNR license agent, by telephone at 888-665-4236 or online at www.mndnr.gov/buyalicense. Lottery winners will be notified in October.
