Bear hunt application deadline is Friday
Published Tuesday, April 29, 2008
The application deadline for the 2008 black bear hunt is Friday according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). This fall's black bear hunt will be Sept. 1 through Oct. 12 and the DNR is offering 11,850 licenses spread across 11 permit areas.
Hunters also can apply for "preference only" by applying in permit area 99.
Licenses for the no-quota area, which is the area outside of the 11 permit areas, can be purchased directly at ELS beginning July 1. No previous application is necessary to buy a no-quota area license. Bear licenses cost $39 for residents and $196 for nonresidents. The bag limit will remain at two bears in the no-quota area and one bear in all quota permit areas.

The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.Post a comment
