Red Lake Reservation The Red Lake Reservation and scattered parcels of reservation land in the surrounding area are closed to non-band members of the Red Lake Band of Ojibwe except by authorization of the tribal council. Most of those lands are not posted, but they are marked in ownership plat books for Beltrami, Lake of the Woods, Koochiching, and Roseau counties. Please see the 2023 Hunting and Trapping Regulations for more information.

Rifle/shotgun restrictions In the southern and western portion of the state, the only legal firearms for deer are shotguns using slugs, muzzleloaders, and handguns legal for big game. Muzzleloaders may be used throughout the state during all firearms seasons.

Deer permit area bag limit designations are listed by individual deer permit area on pages 71 and 72 of the 2023 Hunting Regulations.

Information on the limit for antlered bucks is on page 76 of the 2023 Hunting and Trapping Regulations.

Carcass movement restrictions Moving whole carcasses in Minnesota is restricted in certain circumstances. Whole carcasses are defined as those with the head, brain tissue, and the spinal column of the deer attached.

Whole carcasses of cervidae, including deer, elk and moose species, harvested anywhere outside of Minnesota may not be brought into the state. (Nonresidents transporting whole or partial carcasses on a direct route through Minnesota are exempt from this restriction.)

Whole carcasses of deer harvested in a CWD management zone (shown on maps 1 and 2) must remain in that particular zone until a “not detected” test is confirmed. However, the meat or quarters can leave the zone immediately.
