Public gets more time to mail or email comments on deer populations

The opportunity to email or mail comments on deer populations in large portions of northeastern, north-central and east-central Minnesota has been extended until Friday, Feb. 20.

“We are giving people more time to mail or email comments on deer populations during the 2015 deer goal-setting process,” said Leslie McInenly, big game program leader with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. “However, the last day to take the online questionnaire remains Thursday, Feb. 12.”

Deer population goals will be set for 40 of Minnesota’s 128 deer permit areas in 2015. View a map of the goal-setting areas and take the questionnaire at www.mndnr.gov/deer.
