Deer hunting season is an exceptional time in Minnesota, bringing together friends and families to share in this special and long-held tradition. On Saturday, Nov. 3, opening day of the 2018 firearms season, nearly half-a-million Minnesotans will participate in this popular pastime. They will come from all over the state and beyond, leaving with memories to last a lifetime.
To honor and promote Minnesota’s deer hunting tradition, please join us for the 16th Annual Minnesota
Governor’s Deer Hunting Opener celebration in Hinckley, Minnesota, from Nov. 1- 4. Together, we can
enjoy the traditions of Minnesota’s hunting heritage, increase awareness of deer hunting’s economic and
conservation contributions to our state, and showcase the Hinckley area as a great hunting and travel
destination.
