In light of the controversy surrounding a recent article published by our partners at Wolf.Report, I feel compelled to clarify a few things. First and foremost, MDHA and Wolf.Report are separate entities. We do not own or manage Wolf.Report. We simply agree with their mission of protecting Minnesota’s wildlife through effective and RESPONSIBLE wolf management. For this reason, we made the decision to sponsor their endeavor.
Today, more information is unfolding regarding whitetails and predators. Yet can predators “alone” impact deer herds to the declining numbers that some hunters are experiencing; and when do management agendas tip the scales in favor of predators….?
The Minnesota Deer & Turkey Classic held annually at Canterbury Park in Shakopee is a gathering of hunters celebrating the tradition of hunting in Minnesota. The Classic focuses on showcasing the successes in the field by the Minnesota hunter. This is a chance to show fellow hunters your trophy and possibly win some nice prizes and ribbons for the top finishers. This past March we had over 220 antler entries brought in for measuring by the Minnesota Official Measurers; they are volunteers with a passion for scoring these trophies which can be entered into the Minnesota Record book.
The hunting season has come and gone. Maybe it went the way you were hoping, but for many of us, it may have been another hunting season that left us scratching our head wondering why we have to endure another meal of tag soup. If that’s you, you don’t have to let the next hunting season follow the same trend. The change can start this winter! Here are three easy-to-do habitat improvements that can have you punching your tag next fall.
40 Years ago Wildlife Research Center® started out with one simple idea, to make a better deer scent than anything else on the market. It was a humble beginning and a long road.

Today, Wildlife Research Center® is still family owned and committed to doing business in better ways. What we do is our passion. “We are thankful, and we work hard.”
Biologists and the public have observed deer, moose, elk, and caribou escape into lakes, rivers, and ponds when chased by wolves. Deer did this throughout the year in the Boundary Waters Wilderness Canoe Area (BWWCA). Such escape opportunities for deer, however, were rare in winter when lake and river surfaces were frozen, except for those places where currents kept water from freezing.
