To protect Minnesota moose, DNR may tweak deer hunting boundaries

In an ongoing effort to protect Minnesota's dwindling moose population, the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is considering changes to deer hunting permit boundaries in the Arrowhead region.

The plan aims to reduce deer numbers in the state's primary moose range while increasing them in deer hunting areas that don't overlap with moose.

The agency will release specifics late this week for a two-week public comment period, a spokesman said Monday.
