About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedDPA 341 is a 626-square-mile southern Minnesota permit area in the 300-series Intensive Harvest zone, characterized by rolling agricultural land, wetland complexes, and Minnesota River valley corridors in counties such as Scott, Le Sueur, and Sibley. Deer populations are robust and the DNR designates this a two-deer limit area with antler point restrictions (minimum four points on one side), reflecting both healthy herds and active population management. Public land accounts for roughly 28% of the unit, including WMAs and waterfowl production areas, though most huntable land is private and access can be competitive given proximity to the Twin Cities metro.
Rolling agricultural landscape dominated by row crops (corn and soybeans), interspersed with woodlots, wetland complexes, and Minnesota River valley corridors. Terrain is relatively flat to gently rolling, typical of south-central Minnesota glacial till plains. Scattered timber belts and creek drainages provide primary deer cover.

White-tailed deer are the primary target species with strong populations; DNR manages for population reduction given above-goal densities. Wild turkey are present and huntable in the agricultural-woodland edge habitat throughout the area. Ring-necked pheasant are present in the agricultural grassland and wetland fringe habitats of the southern counties. Ruffed grouse are not typical of this predominantly agricultural unit. No bear or moose population of significance.
Zone 300 Intensive Harvest designation means up to two-deer aggregate limit. Four-point antler restriction on one side required for bucks. Over-the-counter antlerless tags are typically available. Late southeast B firearm season applies. CWD surveillance zone — mandatory sampling may be required. Metro proximity drives high hunter numbers on public parcels. Minnesota River bottomlands offer quality habitat pockets.
