The October discovery of a CWD-infected wild deer near Climax, Minnesota, along the Minnesota-North Dakota border, adds Clearwater, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk and Red Lake counties to the list of counties where deer feeding and the use of attractants such as salt, minerals and urine is not allowed.
Hunters harvested more deer during this year's firearm season as compared to last, but an increase in limits and early season opportunities did not produce a big increase.
