Mn use to allow its hunters both options. To hunt modern rifle and muzzle loader Seasons and take a deer in each circumstance. We now are allowed only one deer harvested per year per hunter. So if you harvest a deer during modern rifle. You are {ineligible} to take another during M/L.
But there are different rules that apply to CWD animals and over populated deer range. Where hunters in those area's may indeed be allowed to harvest more than one deer per year.
Modern rifle season has always proceeded M/L season here in MN. Which I think should be reversed. Modern rifle hunters chase the deer so deep into the green swamps during their Season. It takes those same animals the rest of the winter to fine there way out. Or so it seems to this M/L hunter._
