Minnesota’s 2024 bear season a ‘complete 180’ from last
Published: , in Outdoor News
As the 2024 Minnesota bear season closed on Sunday, Oct. 13, the season’s harvest was estimated just above 3,400 bruins as of Friday, Oct. 11. While DNR estimates after the official end to the season weren’t available, department officials say the kill could hit just above 3,500.
“Very few bears are taken at the end of the season, and it has really slowed down,” said Andrew Tri, Minnesota DNR bear research scientist.
Likely, the finalized kill will be nearly double that of a year ago, when the species’ natural dining room provided most of what bears needed heading into the winter months.
