HF 2897 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Free angling, deer, and small game licenses provided to residents age 70 or over.

HF 2897 would provide free angling (fishing), deer hunting, and small game hunting licenses to Minnesota residents aged 70 or older. The bill amends state law to require license issuers to provide these licenses without fees to eligible seniors. Specifically, it creates a permanent angling license and annual licenses for deer (by firearm or archery) and small game. Proof of age can be shown using a driver's license or Minnesota ID card at any license agent location.
