Published: , in Outdoor News
The Minnesota DNR released the results of its annual small game survey on Oct. 2 that showed the number of small-game hunters in Minnesota in 2022 dropped by more than 5,700 license sales from the previous year and continued to trend below the 10-year average.
A total of 228,143 small game licenses were sold for the 2022-23 hunting seasons. That’s compared to 233,901 small game licenses sold in 2021-22. Hunters who pursued waterfowl, grouse and pheasants had fairly similar success rates compared to the 10-year averages, according to the DNR’s small game hunter mail survey.
