Minnesota Firearm Deer Season Set to Begin in Two Weeks
Minnesota's firearm deer season is scheduled to begin in two weeks, while archery deer harvest numbers in the Arrowhead region, encompassing Cook and Lake counties, are currently low.
Duluth Superior, MN, October 24, 2026 —
Minnesota’s firearm deer season is scheduled to begin in two weeks, while archery deer harvest numbers in the Arrowhead region are currently low, according to the available information.
The Arrowhead region referenced in the update encompasses Cook and Lake counties. No harvest totals or other figures were provided, so the scale of the reported low numbers cannot be quantified. The information also does not specify when the archery figures were recorded or how they compare with previous seasons.
The firearm season’s scheduled start was described as two weeks away, but no calendar date was given. The date of the update is also unavailable, making it impossible to determine the season’s start date from the information provided. No further details were supplied about season rules, expected participation, or other regions.
The update does not identify a source for the harvest figures or explain what factors, if any, may be affecting them. It therefore establishes only that archery harvest numbers in Cook and Lake counties are currently characterized as low and that Minnesota’s firearm deer season is approaching. It does not provide enough information to assess the trend’s causes, its relationship to earlier seasons, or what hunters might expect once the firearm season begins.
Additional details, including exact harvest counts, the reporting period, the season’s calendar start date and the source of the figures, were not provided.
