Deer-removal permits due to crop damage net limited harvests in Minnesota
Published: , in Outdoor News
Recently, in southern Minnesota’s Deer Permit Area 274, a farmer killed five more deer than allowed on his out-of-season deer-removal permit and did not report it to the DNR’s area wildlife office.
As a result, he received a petty misdemeanor citation for violating the permit, and that will weigh against him if he ever applies for a permit to shoot deer causing crop damage in the future.
“That’s the first time we’ve ever had a report of that, and I don’t like to hear that, either, obviously. That’s not what this program is about,” said Dave Trauba, interim DNR Wildlife Section manager.
