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.
