SF107

This legislative bill, SF No 107, proposes changes to how deer hunting regulations are managed in Minnesota. It aims to remove the existing "shotgun zone" that specifies where only shotguns can be used for hunting deer. Instead, it would allow each county in the state to pass their own rules about what types of firearms and ammunition can be used for deer hunting, following a public notice and hearing process. These local rules would need to be renewed every year through the same process. Additionally, the bill would repeal the state law that currently defines the shotgun area, leading to a more localized approach to hunting regulation.
