Deer hunting licenses in Minnesota are now available for residents.

Hunters who want an either-sex deer or special hunt permit for the coming season must apply by Thursday, Sept. 5, said the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). 

Hunters can purchase a deer license and apply for the lottery or a special hunt at any DNR license agent, such as these in West St. Paul:
  • Holiday Stationstore #157, 1845 S. Robert St., 651-457-6684
  • Kmart #9397, 50 Signal Hills Mall, 651-457-3022
  • Walmart Supercenter #3364, 1644 S. Robert St. S., 651-453-0343
A license can also be purchased by telephone at 888-665-4236 or online at the DNR Buy A License webpage.

Fifty-eight of the state’s 129 permit areas are lottery areas. The number of permit areas designated as lottery is unchanged from 2012. The number of either-sex permits available has increased about 10 percent, according to the DNR.
