Leftover Minn. deer permits available Monday

Leftover Minnesota either-sex deer permits become available Monday.

The free leftover permits give another shot to for firearms and muzzleloader hunters who were unsuccessful in this year's lottery for an either-sex deer permit, or who did not apply.

To pick up a permit, a hunter must either currently possess or purchase a license valid for either the firearms or the muzzleloader season.

Hunters can only have one permit, which is valid only for the area they select. The permit will allow them to take one antlerless deer in that area only. It's not a permit for an extra deer, and hunters who were selected in the lottery cannot obtain a leftover permit.

The DNR License Center and Information Center will be open extended hours Monday, until 5:30 p.m. Permits are also available online for registered users.
