You MN guys must be the greatest fucking deer managers ever! I underestimated you all! Kudos! I've been missing your sarcasm Whip. Good to see you around a bit more lately.

When do the zone harvest quotas come out?
Or goals, whatever they call it? Doe tag info?

They dont even have the 2016 harvest report out yet.... So it will be long after that I am sure. They have to get those numbers adjusted to fit the model better.

In the past two weekends I drove allot of Minnesota's highways, I was on the north shore last weekend and Brainerd and OTC this weekend. For what it worth I have seen allot of dead deer on the roads this year. Populations have got to be better but it probably won't last long.

I thought the same thing this weekend too Freeborn. Definitely an uptick in dead deer. After this fall, we should all be rest assured there wont be any road deer kills next year again..

I'm guessing the total kills for '17 and '18 will jump significantly...and from '19 on total kills of around 140K will become the "norm"

I have low hopes to still be in the lottery for 172. Meanwhile in South Dakota (anyone catch the Beyond MN section in ODN last week?) SD Game Fish and Parks has stated there are not enough deer and they are pulling back aggressively on doe tags both east and west river. Buck tags will be reduced slightly as well.

There were a bunch dead along 94 between the cities in Alex over the weekend. I swear MN deer are dumber than WI deer. Back in the 90's in WI I'd see deer all along 94 down to Madison but it didn't seem like that many ended up dead. On the other hand I rarely see live deer in MN along any roads yet they somehow end up dead. Probably an inaccurate perception on my part but I'm sticking to it!!!

Poor habitat and wolves keep deer in the ditches and running across the road.

I am starting to like South Dakota more and more. Not too far a drive for me, and I can get an archery tag every year. No state taxes!
