main thing to take not of is now our two tag zones are good for 1 buck and one doe, or two does, regardless of weapon! Same for 3 deer zones... all 3 deer can be antlerless.

Thanks for posting this! Of course everywhere I hunt is still a one deer limit hunters choice but I guess this is good for growing mature deer. Especially with the 4 points on one side rule....

anyone else disappointed that they changed the rule for the management areas? I know certain areas have too many does but they are few and far between IMO. Personally I don't think it's going to save many bucks when we allow party hunting. There'll just be more does shot is all... :think:

What do the north westerners think of their 2 deer limit? You have the numbers for it?

Looks like the MDDI (MN Deer Density Initiative) only lasted two seasons... more tags in alot of the state. I was just thinking numbers were starting to look decent. Guess we'll knock them back down again.
