(KNSI) – Minnesota deer hunters shot fewer animals this year during the firearms season.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says 149,263 deer were harvested between November 4th and the 20th. That’s 873 fewer than in 2021 and 10,499 fewer than in 2020. The number of deer hunters in the state has also declined recently. For the first time in the last decade, fewer than 350,000 hunters bought a tag during the 2022 hunting season.

Minnesota hunters can still take a deer during the upcoming muzzleloader season from November 26th to December 11th.
