Moorhead-area deer hunters should verify hunting locations (October 31,
2007)
Deer hunters using firearms in the Moorhead area need to verify their hunting locations before going out in the field Nov. 3 because of an error in the 2007 Hunting Regulations Handbook, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
The rifle-shotgun boundary now includes all of Clay County west of Minnesota Highway 32. From the western boundary of the state, the rifle-shotgun boundary follows the northern boundary of Clay County east to Minnesota Highway 32, then south to Minnesota Highway 34 then west to Interstate 94.
The boundary is mislabeled on the back of the fold-out deer season map and on page 77 of the regulations handbook. Hunters in this area should verify their locations before to taking the field to ensure they are within the rifle-shotgun boundary.
