Minnesota Fall Turkey Hunting Opens Saturday, Oct. 3

Fall turkey season in Minnesota opens Saturday, October 3, and runs through November 1. Hunters can take one turkey of either sex, using a bow, crossbow or shotgun.

Pheasant season opens October tenth and runs through January third, giving hunters another opportunity to get outdoors this fall.

The DNR is also encouraging hunters to buy their licenses early. The state launched a new electronic licensing system this year, and some transactions may take extra time. For hunting regulations, season information and licenses, visit mndnr.gov.

WARROAD, Minn. — The Warroad City Council met in regular session on Monday, and approved a 10.2% preliminary property tax levy increase for 2027. The council had previously discussed a roughly 10% increase during a pre-budget workshop. Council members ultimately approved the 10.2% figure.

Councilman Kevin Thompson spoke about how the increase will help determine what the city can fund in next year’s budget:

City Administrator Kathy Lovelace says the preliminary levy can still be reduced as the budget process continues, but it cannot be increased above the 10.2% figure:

The city’s Truth in Taxation hearing is scheduled for December 14th at 6 p.m., following the council’s regular 5:30 meeting. KQ92 and KRWB will continue to cover Warroad city council meetings.
