Minnesota DNR bans lead ammo on 56 state scientific and natural areas where hunting is allowed
Published: , in Outdoor News
The Minnesota DNR issued an order in late June that will require hunters to use nontoxic, lead-free ammunition when hunting on 56 state scientific and natural areas where hunting is allowed.
The new order was signed June 27 by DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen, a move that stopped short of banning lead fishing tackle on SNAs and prohibiting lead ammunition at state parks for special hunts, which was sought by a coalition of conservation groups headed by Friends of Minnesota Scientific and Natural Areas. Federal Ammunition on Monday criticized the commissioner’s order.
