No chronic wasting disease in hunting samplesThe Associated Press - BISMARCK, N.D.Samples of deer, elk and moose killed during North Dakota's 2008 hunting season have found no sign of chronic wasting disease. The state Game and Fish Department says samples were taken last fall from nearly 2,300 deer, 53 elk and 24 moose. Dr. Dan Grove, a department wildlife veterinarian, says officials also tested for bovine tuberculosis in the northeastern part of the state. He says the tests of 850 deer, moose and elk were negative for bovine TB. The department says about 160 moose and deer have been tested for chronic wasting disease and TB since January. It says all tested negative for chronic wasting disease and bovine TB test results are pending. Deer in the western third of the state will be tested this fall. www.jamestownsun.com/event/apArticle/id/D98I1EE01/

Here are some changes for the 2009 (MN) Deer Season:
Deer Baiting
“Bait or feed” is grain, fruit, vegetables, nuts, hay, or other food that is capable of attracting or enticing deer and that has been placed by a person. * Hunters are not allowed to use or hunt over bait or feed or hunt in the vicinity of bait or feed if the hunter knows about or has reason to know about the placement of the bait or feed. * A person otherwise in compliance with this section who is hunting on private or public property that is adjacent to the property where bait or feed is present is not in violation if the person has not participated in, been involved with, or agreed to baiting or feeding wildlife on the adjacent property. * An area is considered baited for 10 days after complete removal of the bait or feed. * Liquid scents, salt, and minerals, are not considered bait or feed. * This restriction does not apply to foods that have not been placed by a person and that are resulting from normal or accepted farming, forest management, wildlife food plantings, orchard management, or similar land management activities.
Example: Piling harvested pumpkins or other food from a food plot is one example of baiting.

LOTTERY
Firearm and muzzleloader hunters who hunt in a lottery deer area and want to take an antlerless deer must apply for either-sex permits through the lottery system. The application deadline is Sept. 10, 2009 and lottery winners will receive permits via U.S. mail.
A person can apply for either firearm or muzzleloader season but not both. Successful applicants will receive a permit that is valid for that area and season only. If a hunter puts in using a firearm license, the permit is valid for the firearm season only. If they put in with a muzzleloader license, it is valid for that season. No bonus permits are allowed in lottery deer areas, regardless of weapon type. Leftover lottery permits will be available first come, first served at 5pm on Monday, October 12th.
License types: * Regular Archery: May take one deer of either sex without applying in the lottery. * Regular Firearms: May take a buck in the deer area but must apply for an either-sex permit through the lottery system if interested in taking an antlerless deer. The application deadline is Sept. 10, 2009. If successful in the lottery, the bag limit is one deer of either sex. * Regular Muzzleloader: May take a buck in the deer area but must apply for an either-sex permit through the lottery system if interested in taking an antlerless deer. The application deadline is Sept. 10, 2009. If successful in the lottery, the bag limit is one deer of either sex. There is no exemption this year for people who only buy a muzzleloader license. You must apply for the lottery. * Youth: May take an either-sex deer without applying in the lottery. * Disabled permit holders: May take an either-sex deer without applying in the lottery.
Bag limit: * One deer per year in one lottery area. You cannot take extra deer in multiple lottery areas. * Bonus permits are not allowed in lottery deer areas
The following deer areas have been designated as LOTTERY for 2009:
Area 115: 2,000 Permits, this means our wives should also apply for the lottery. The application deadline is Sept. 10, 2009

In lottery deer areas (Blue), all firearm and muzzleloader hunters must apply by Sept. 10th if they want to take an antlerless deer. Last year, there was an exemption for people who hunted only the muzzleloader season; however, that exemption has been eliminated this year. Hunters interested in obtaining one of these permits should apply using either their firearm or muzzleloader license. If successful, the permit will be valid during that season only. In order to fairly distribute permits, they will be allocated in proportion to the number of applicants. For example, if 100 permits are offered and 25% of the applicants are muzzleloader hunters, then 25 permits will be allocated for the muzzleloader season. This way, muzzleloader hunters compete with other muzzleloader hunters and not firearm hunters who likely have more preference points.
Again, this is being done to reduce the number of antlerless deer harvested.

Were in the Blue. It looks like we can each take a buck with our normal deer license, but to shoot a doe we have to get a permit from the lottery.
1 legal buck OR 1 either sex if successful in lottery.

8-5-09 While haying the field in brookston mn at my brothers house, there was a LARGE timberwolf in the hay rows. Clapping hands did not scare it off, so to me that means they are hungary and the population is greater. Watch out for Hershey and family pets. That also means we should bring decinds dog out to the house for a run through the woods/field. Dont know what that means for deer hunting, hope they stay away this year!!!!
