2022 Chester Woods Park Lottery Deer Hunt Closure

The Olmsted County Parks Division will close Chester Woods Regional Park for the management shotgun deer hunt season November 19, 2022 – November 27, 2022. The purpose of the hunt is to harvest a sufficient number of animals to keep the herd healthy and manageable. Forty are selected by lottery and each will be required to obtain at least one disease management harvest tag allowing the taking of additional antlerless deer. Chester Woods Park will re-open at 5:00 a.m. on Monday, November 28, 2022.
