Bad luck for some Minnesotans
I just read in the new regulations booklet that for some areas in Minnesota there is a new regulation that will only let youth under age 18 apply for an antlerless deer permit. Previously these areas were a lottery are, i.e. anyone under age 18 was automatically given an antlerless tag, and anyone age 18 and over could enter a lottery where only those drawn would receive one. I have two opinions. First it really sucks for those of us who are out to fill the freezer. But second I hope they accomplish what they are trying to do, which is bring the population of mature deer back up to sustainable numbers. Just thought i would let you guys know how lucky some of you are in having the right to take any sex you want and sometimes as many as you want.
