If you’re a small game hunter in Minnesota, there could be big news coming your way from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The Pilot-Independent takes a look at this in a recent article titled “Proposed change to small game hunting season dates at Schoolcraft State Game Refuge.”

According to the author of the article, “The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will hold a public meeting about a proposed change in small game hunting season dates at the Schoolcraft State Game Refuge June 29 from 7 to 8 p.m., at the Fern Township Hall, located 0.75 mi. west of Becida on County Highway 9 in Hubbard County. The current small game hunting season in the Schoolcraft State Game Refuge closes the Thursday before the opening of deer rifle season and remains closed through Dec. 31, before reopening for the rest of the small game season. The proposed new small game hunting season would close the Thursday prior to the deer rifle season, but would reopen the day after rifle season and continue through the rest of the small game hunting season.”

Some people may be exploring small game hunting for the first time. In that event, it would be wise to learn about the activity. Summit Daily describes such a case in a recent article titled “Want to hunt? CPW shows you how.” The author of the article writes, “Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds women and youth interested in learning how to hunt big or small game — everything from deer, elk and pronghorn to upland birds and waterfowl — that the deadline to apply for mentored hunts is July 15. The hunts are offered through CPW’s Hunter Outreach Program, designed to provide guidance and mentorship to novice women and youth hunters through clinics, workshops, seminars and guided hunts on private land.”
