Minnesota Deer Season Opens Saturday



Nearly half a million firearms deer hunters are preparing for the firearms deer season that opens Nov. 6 and offers opportunity to spend time outdoors with friends and family, find adventure outdoors and put venison in the freezer. Check out the reports from DNR wildlife managers on what hunters can expect this season.

Meanwhile, the Minnesota DNR is continuing research to screen hunter-harvested deer for the presence of neonicotinoids, the most widely used class of insecticides worldwide.

The sample needed for testing is the spleen. The spleen is large, flat and dark red. It's attached to the stomach of a deer and easily found while field-dressing.

If you hunt in DPA 234, 237, 295, 296, 241, 214, 239, 240, 604, 172, 171 or 179 and are interested in participating, sign up at  http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/wildlife/health/neonic.html.
