Bob Gorecki, State Conservation Officer fielded questions from the Rotary Club on the rules and regulations regarding deer season.
If hunting in an intensive zone where there is a five deer limit and you take three deer in the intensive zone you can still take 2 deer in the managed zones. The state-wide limit for deer is five.
If you own 80 acres or more you can apply for a free doe permit or Farmers Licence to hunt on your land.
In Koochiching County east of 72 there was a hunters choice lottery. One deer could be taken but it was the hunters choice of buck or doe.
The limits for zones 111 and 105 are two deer.
Cross-bow hunting is allowed during fire-arm season, same goes for muzzle loader. All hunters must wear blaze orange.
Zipple Bay State Park is a five deer area, but a special permit is required to hunt.
There probably will be another early youth season next year as was done this year.
If you hit a deer with a car, what are your responsibilities? If you have over $1,000 of damage to your vehicle, your insurance company will require a police report. So, it is a good idea to call in the accident in all cases. Without getting a permit you do not have the right to take/transport the deer. You need to contact a Conservation Officer and ask for a permit if you with to transport the deer home. You can not take the antlers - again, you must get a permit to transport any part of the deer. If the deer is injured not dead,typically try to call first but go ahead and put the animal down if you are comfortable doing so.
This will be the second year that you can register your deer by phone or online. Most officers will have Internet access in their vehicles to verify this. Be sure to write down the number that you are given when doing a phone or online registration. You must register your deer 24 hours after the end of the season - you can register your deer at: Outdoors Again, Howards, Cenex, Holiday and Log Cabin - if you do not have access to the phone or online system.
Minimum caliber to hunt deer - center fired bigger than a .22
No more multi zone restrictions - main reason they ask your zone is for hunter info.
The TB in skime was traced back to a Bull that was transported tot he area from Mexico and the deer sharing a food source (hay bail) with the bull.
Trespass law:
Land that is agricultural or has a history of being farmed does not need to be posted. If the land has a fence (fence does not have to encompass property) it also does not need to be posted. Posted land needs to have signs every 1,000 feet. The signs need to be tended to once per year and have the following information:
NO Trespassing
Owners Name
Date
Phone
It is also acceptable to have posted signs on primary corners and entry to property.
Snowmobile trails are for snowmobiling only and not for four wheeling to state land for hunting purposes. You must remain 500 feet away from private property to shoot and you are always responsible for your bullet.
You can not shot off a improved road or right of way. This includes Minimum Maintenance Roads, Forest Roads - even though they are not plowed they are improved.
