After the 2021 Minnesota Legislature adjourned earlier this month without taking major action to fight chronic wasting disease, the state’s largest deer hunters’ group is now pushing for an outright end to deer farms to stop the spread of the disease from captive deer into the wild.

As of Friday, Feb. 12, chapters had collected 28,025 hides and raised $106,499, according to Kim Washburn, grants coordinator for MDHA. By comparison, the Hides for Habitat campaign in 2019 collected 23,972 hides and raised $93,701, based on MDHA figures.
Since 1985, the Hides for Habitat program has collected more than 900,000 donated deer hides and raised some $5.5 million, according to MDHA.
While hunters in Minnesota shot more deer last fall – about 195,000, compared with 183,600 in 2019 – between the various seasons, the 6% increase in harvest doesn’t correlate with the jump in hide collections or proceeds, according to Craig Engwall, executive director of the MDHA.
