Minnesota DNR plan addresses bear range change, ag damage
Published: , in Outdoor News
While Minnesota bear hunters bask in the glow of what was the highest bear kill in more than 20 years, DNR officials are asking for their opinion on plans to potentially tweak some bear management unit boundaries in the state.
The proposed changes, however, aren’t necessarily aimed at reducing bear harvest which, in 2023, dove off a cliff, when nearly half the number of bears were killed as in 2024. Rather, the DNR’s proposal is directed at addressing areas of the state – largely in the areas of transition from agriculture to forest – where crop damage complaints arise.
