Deer hunting

Nearly 500,000 hunters will take to the woods and the farm fields this weekend for the start of the Minnesota firearms deer hunting season.

In my many years of experience, I've created my own list of deer stand must-haves. Here is what I will have with me in the woods this weekend.

The Minnesota firearm Deer Hunting opener is November 6th and ammunition is still in short supply due to COVID-19 related supply chain issues. Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News joined me on WJON today. He says with demand high and supply low he's noticing prices increase a bit.

The firearm season opener is Saturday, November 6th in Minnesota. It's basically the big holiday between Halloween and Thanksgiving in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

The Minnesota DNR released their new deer hunting regulations. These regulations for will allow deer hunters to shoot more than one deer in more than half the state. Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News joined me on WJON this week. He says "for deer hunters to be able to shoot more than one deer is almost unheard of."

Minnesota's most recent reported Bigfoot sighting happened on deer hunting weekend this past November, and it wasn't even a hunter that spotted the creature.

Hopefully you have a blaze orange t-shirt ready to go for Saturday.

It's expected that more people will be deer hunting this year, which means more deer will need to be processed.

With just over a month to go until firearms opener in Minnesota, I'm starting to get the itch to sit in a tree all day.

It was a successful opening weekend for many deer hunters across Minnesota.
