This week outside of regular session, the Environment Omnibus bill was agreed upon. This omnibus bill would remove shotgun-only hunting zones in the state. A special session has been scheduled for Monday, June 9th, for the Environment Omnibus bill to be heard.
Please contact your Senator and urge them to SUPPORT this amendment!
Currently in Minnesota, significant portions of the state preclude the use of a rifle for deer hunting. The over 80-year-old law was put in place as an effort to increase the deer population in the 1940’s. With overpopulation now a cause for concern, these shotgun-only zones are both outdated and unnecessary.
