According to the Minnesota DNR, the 2002 deer hunting season starts September 14, 2002 - for Archery only. The deer hunting by firearms season begins November 9, 2001. On November 30, 2001, the deer hunting by muzzleloader season begins.
The white-tailed deer is Minnesota's most popular wildlife species. Each year, roughly 500,000 hunters pursue this elusive big game animal and harvest roughly 125,000.
Deer are amazing creatures. They can run at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour and leap over an 8-foot-tall fence.
Adult female white-tailed deer weigh about 145 pounds, males 170. The heaviest whitetail ever recorded in the United States was a 500-pound Minnesota buck.
