State park to close during special hunt
During a special hunt to prevent overpopulation of deer and protect resources on Dec. 1-3, Frontenac State Park will be closed to all visitors.
Hunts also will take place at other Minnesota state parks and recreation areas this fall, and access to the parks will vary. Some will remain open to all visitors, some will have limited public access and some will be open only to hunters with special permits. The deadlines have passed for youth and adults to apply for the permits to participate in the hunts, which include regular firearms, muzzleloader and archery options.
