Minnesota’s deer feeding and attractant ban expanded Dec. 30. Feeding bans and attractant bans are part of the DNR’s chronic wasting disease response plan and necessary because feed and attractants often cause deer to concentrate, greatly increasing the risk of deer-to-deer disease transmission.
Deer feed includes grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, hay and other food that is capable of attracting or enticing deer. Attractants include salt, minerals and deer urine.
Counties NEW to the ban on feeding and attractants are Clearwater, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk and Red Lake.
Counties NEW to the feeding ban (but where attractants are allowed) are Beltrami, Itasca, Koochiching, Lake of the Woods and Roseau.
