Minnesota DNR tweaks state park special deer hunt lead rules
Published: , in Outdoor News
The 2022 Minnesota Hunting and Trapping Regulations booklet – Page 89 – highlighted new rules pertaining to lead ammunition use for special state park deer hunts (or disease-management hunts), as well as for scientific and natural area special and regular hunts. In short, lead ammo was banned for those hunts.
So why, then, did a DNR news release on July 20 restate, largely, what was spelled out a year ago? In part, because the rule in ’23 comes with an exemption – one that may require a workout, of sorts, for youth deer hunters, but only for those in the state’s shotgun zone.
