Minnesota 2024 deer harvest totals and end-of-season questions for you

Deer harvest totals and end-of-season questions for you

Looking back at the 2023 deer season, deer harvest totals were significantly lower in northern Minnesota, and close to average in central and southern Minnesota, with 158,746 deer harvested statewide, 8% fewer than last year.

Hunters and anyone interested in deer are invited to share their thoughts in the end-of-season survey. The survey includes questions about experiences hunters had during the deer hunting season, issues related to damage deer might do to crops, landscaping or gardens, and other deer-related issues. The Minnesota DNR will use the feedback to shape regulations for the 2024 hunting season.
