Deer Harvest is Down

The cold weather has taken its toll on the deer harvest. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says the first 10 days of the fire arms season has shown a 20 percent reduction in the take compared to last year.
DNR Manager Tom Rusch says hunters spent less time in their stands because of the cold, windy and snowy conditions.
Last year 260-thousand white tails were harvested out of a population of 1.2 million.
The season for zone two, which encompasses most of the Brainerd Lakes Area, ended last Sunday. The other fire arms seasons will end this coming Sunday.
