Deer Hunting Season Starts Tomorrow!

Being a dedicated deer hunter isn’t everyone’s taste.  Living in Zimmerman Minnesota,  makes it abundantly clear to me that without hunting the whitetails, we would actually be harming them and ourselves.

I know that some don’t think highly of the sport because one of my associates and several of my wife’s friends have made this crystal clear.

But, in rebuttal, I will offer some great reasons and a website link as to why this is not only necessary, but good land management.

First, of all, the last couple of years, the population has gotten much larger, especially with the mild winter we had last year without much snow,

Those deer are in their second year without much of a normal snowfall which takes the lives of the old and weak. 

If Zimmerman and much of Minnesota finds a winter like last year, there will be more deer-car accidents, more damage to landscape and more encounters with the population that normally stays “hidden.” 

Read much more and find out about how Minnesota is managing the deer population and how hunting is restricted here. 

Tomorrow, I will be off to the deer stand…and the phone on silent.  If  you need me, I can still email or text.

Have a great weekend!  I know I will.
