On Monday, June 9th, outside of regular session, the Senate passed the Environment Omnibus bill, removing shotgun-only hunting zones in the state. Previously, significant portions of the state precluded 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the deer population in the 1940's. With overpopulation now a cause for concern, these shotgun-only zones were both outdated and unnecessary, and we applaud the Minnesota legislature for repealing these outdated regulations.
