The first of the two shotgun deer hunting season begins today.
Marion County DNR Officer Eric Hoffman tells KNIA/KRLS News the two seasons are split so that the deer can rest and hunt pressure is relieved. Hoffman emphasizes safety in the season as his primary concern. Hunters should make a plan and stick with it to avoid confusion. The first shotgun season ends Wednesday and the second begins Saturday, December 10, continuing until Sunday, December 18.
