Car - Deer Collisions Increase

White tail deer are becoming more active in the Brainerd Lakes Area, according to Crosslake Conservation Officer Nikki Shouts. She tells KLKS News, she issued five car kill permits Tuesday alone. She says for those that hit deer and want to keep the meat, they must get a permit from any law enforcement offer. Shoutz says the rifle season opens November 8Th. Prior to the season, she suggests hunters sight-in their rifle at a controlled gun range.
