State urged to spend 500000 on deer habitat program
Milo Casey of the Minnesota Natural Resources Department told a House wildlife subcommittee that about 500000 dollars annually is needed to raise the deer herd to 300000. He said 100000 could be taken each season and the population could stay stable, with current spending of 100000 this year and 200000 in 1972. The department closed firearms deer hunting this fall due to low numbers, and Casey projected a range of 12 to 13 deer per square mile in northern Minnesota, aiming for 20 to 25.
