Minnesota Deer Hunting
Deer Opener in Minnesota is met with an unbridled excitement
that is hard to describe. Businesses close for opening day
and many wives and small children are often left to fend for
themselves as the "hunters" in the family hunker down in deer
stands until their prizes are taken. In fact, the fervor
created by Minnesota deer hunting is second only to the opening
day of walleye season. Anchor Inn Resort has been catering
to hunters and their "widows" for years with a long history as a
sportsman's favorite. Located in the Chippewa National
Forest the resort is ideally located to act as headquarters for
your next deer hunt! Call today at 1-888-798-2718 for
reservations or information.
The white-tailed deer is Minnesota's most popular wildlife
species. Each year, roughly 500,000 hunters harvest roughly
200,000 of these amazing creatures. Deer can run at speeds of up
to 40 miles per hour and leap over an 8-foot-tall fence.
Adult female white-tailed deer weigh about 145 pounds, males
170. The heaviest whitetail ever recorded in the United States
was a 500-pound Minnesota buck.
Three generations of
Kitterman hunters have hunted the area around Anchor Inn Resort.
Here are their deer hunting tips...
The
Chippewa National Forest contains over 1.2 million acres of
forested land and is an ideal habitat for this beautiful animal.
Most of the land is public and, therefore, is open to hunters.
However, be sure that you are not in a posted "No Hunting" area
because there are private lands within the forest. There
are a variety of seasons including black powder, bow and rifle
and there is usually an early date for a youth hunt. Doe
permits are available (given out by zones in limited numbers.)
but you must apply for them.
NOTE:
Completion of a Hunter Education/Firearms Safety course is now
required to purchase a hunting license for anyone born on or
after Dec. 31, 1979. Click here for the full story:
