Ramsey County Parks and Recreation, in partnership with the Metro Bowhunters Resource Base, will again
conduct controlled archery deer hunts this fall throughout the Ramsey County
parks system.
Daylong hunts will be conducted at 10 park and trail locations on
select dates in October and November. Most hunts are held Friday through
Sunday, with select hunts held Monday through Wednesday to help minimize the
impact on weekend park and trail users.
Many of the locations are the same as those used in previous years.
Tamarack Nature Center, located within Bald Eagle-Otter Lakes Regional Park, has been added back to the list of locations after no hunt
was held at the center in 2014. In turn, no hunt will be conducted this year in
the Bald Eagle section of the park.

Battle Creek and Otter Lake off-leash dog areas will be closed during hunts;
the Rice Creek North off-leash area is expected to remain open. Efforts will be
made to keep most major paved hiking and biking trails open. Signs will be
posted at common entry points to parks where hunts are being conducted, and
park visitors are requested to stay out of these areas.
All archers have already been selected for 2015.
