(Undated) – Minnesota waterfowl hunters taking part in early teal hunting season in September need to be aware of and cautious of wild rice harvesters. “Right over Labor Day. There are a lot of people out on the water,” says the DNR’s Leslie McInenly.
She says there are special state regulations for hunters within the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe reservation.
Specifically, hunters may not hunt within one-half mile of posted wild rice beds open to harvest within the boundaries of the reservation.
In addition, White Earth Nation may have restrictions for hunters on the White Earth Reservation
