Thats bullshit. Area is over goal so much there is not even any marketable timber, and CWD has killed over 60,000 people in the past 4 days. The season must continue.

Proposed late-season deer hunt in southeastern Minnesota won’t happen

A late-season antlerless only deer hunt proposed for three southeastern Minnesota permit areas with deer populations significantly above goal levels will not be conducted in January 2018, the Minnesota DNR said in a news release Thursday, Oct. 26.
Public input collected at two meetings and online showed no clear consensus either for or against the hunt, said Paul Telander, wildlife section chief for the DNR.
The DNR had proposed that the hunt be conducted from Saturday, Jan. 6, to Sunday, Jan. 14, in deer permit areas 346, 348 and 349. This special hunt would have run concurrently with the late-season chronic wasting disease hunt in deer permit area 603.
Deer populations in the three permit areas have been over the population goals established in 2014 for multiple seasons, the DNR said in the release. The proposed hunt would have helped move deer populations closer to goal and provided additional hunting opportunity.
After assessing this year’s deer hunting seasons in southeastern Minnesota, the DNR will organize and announce public input meetings and other input opportunities for area residents and hunters ahead of next year’s hunting season, the agency said in the release.

MN still confuses me. Why is it that SE MN is treated differently than everywhere else in the state? Is it simply due to the money and political influence SE MN landowners possess?

I think SE MN has convinced the DNR that they have something special in terms of quality deer. We out here in Central or Western MN, could have it made too, if we adjusted the season, cut back on permits, and got rid of party hunting and long seasons. The deer I am seeing this year are some nice bucks, genetic freaks, but they are young, and more than likely will be dead in a few weeks.

Let's say this is true...why/how is that tiny chunk of the state able to convince the DNR of that (or anything for that matter)? The only answer I can see to that is money and political influence. What am I missing? OTC can make the case of having something special in terms of quality deer...do people there just not want to?

I don't believe the people in SE MN have convinced the DNR of anything! The DNR may have dropped it to avoid more conflict, only to announce a "Special" extended season later to due to a high population and the less than stellar harvest that failed to drop the population sufficiently due to "Weather and corn". If these ass-wipes want it, it will happen!

I would say the population is likely to go up this year... intensive down to 3 and crappy weather in the early antlerless. I heard much fewer shots around me this year than last for early antlerless. Whether it is weather related or people just not wanting to kill does idk

If these ass-wipes want it, it will happen! So why does the MN DNR avoid conflict in that tiny part of the state and nowhere else? I don't doubt that some special hunt(s) may be on the way for SE MN, but that already would have happened elsewhere in the state. No CWD here, but I've got the same harvest designation as where it does exist.
