Take a youth deer hunting
A regular deer hunting license is all a youth 10-17 needs to participate in Minnesota’s statewide deer season from Thursday, Oct. 17, through Sunday, Oct. 20. Get full details on the youth deer hunting page.
Stay safe in the field
With hunting seasons on the horizon – or getting underway – now’s a good time to refamiliarize yourself with the basic tenets of safe firearms handling. And if you’re hunting on or near the water, please wear a life jacket!
2024 hunting regulations available
Hunting regulations for 2024 are now available on the hunting pages of the DNR website. The current version of the regulations booklet and deer permit area map also are available for download. Regulations translated into Hmong, Karen, Somali and Spanish will be available later this fall.
