Due to recent revisions to federal and state rules, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will open Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) for the first time to muzzleloader deer hunting. The season opens Nov. 29 and closes Dec. 14.

According to Margaret Anderson, Agassiz NWR manager, this new hunting opportunity is a result of the 2005 Agassiz NWR Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP). During the CCP process, the public had several opportunities to provide input on refuge management and public use activities. New hunting opportunities were strongly supported.

In addition to a muzzleloader deer season, archery deer, grouse (beginning with the deer firearms season), and youth deer and waterfowl hunts in designated areas were also approved.

Agassiz NWR, which is located 12 miles north of Thief River Falls and 11 miles east on County Road 7, is located within deer permit area 203 (PA203). In 2008, PA203 is an intensive deer management unit, meaning that up to five deer can be harvested, with no more than one deer being antlered.

Keep protective lens covers in place when the scope is not being used.

Maintain the metal surfaces of your scope by removing any dirt or sand with a soft brush to avoid scratching the finish. Wipe the scope with a damp cloth and follow with a dry cloth. Finally, wipe with a silicone treated cloth to restore luster and protect the scope against corrosion. Be careful not to touch the lenses with the silicone cloth.
