As many of you know last year there was some changes made to the MN Deer seasons, you have many choices on what type of license you would like. I think I am going to go with the All Season license this year it is good for archery, bow, and muzzleloader. You can take two deer with this license a posibly a 3rd with a bonus tag, and I belive it lets you hunt most anywhere in the state.
