The Minnesota legislature’s non-partisan watchdog will scrutinize how the state manages its deer population — a review that could impact how the state oversees whitetail deer hunting.
“Specifically, the audit will likely examine the following questions:
— How does DNR estimate and monitor Minnesota’s deer population, and how do these methods compare with other estimation and monitoring approaches?
— How does DNR establish the state’s deer population goals, and how does this compare with methods used by other states?
— To what extent do DNR’s deer population goals reflect an appropriate balance between stakeholder interests?”
