Citing protection of the wild rice resource from disturbance during the tribal gathering season, Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge in northwestern Minnesota has issued an emergency closure to one of its hunting units during the state’s five-day experimental early teal season, which begins Sept. 2.
Closed is Area C, the 5,618-acre northern migratory bird unit north of Becker County Highway 143, said Kent Sundseth, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service refuge manager at Tamarac. The closure was requested by White Earth Nation at a meeting earlier this year.
