Minnesota · Deer · 2026-27

This is what is open somewhere in Minnesota today. A pin adds the half this cannot answer: legal light at your coordinates, the deer permit area your stand is in, and whether your own tags cover the day.

Transcribed from the published 2026-27 Minnesota digest. Where this app and the digest disagree, the digest is the law. Read the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources digest.

Minnesota deer seasons, 2026-27

Minnesota’s 2026-27 deer seasons run September 19, 2026 to December 31, 2026, and what is open on a given day depends on the deer permit area your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the deer permit area off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
