SF 965 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Deer firearms season dates modification

This bill (SF 965) amends Minnesota Statutes section 97B.311, which governs deer hunting seasons. It modifies the dates for the deer firearms season, though the specific new dates are not detailed in the provided text. The bill directly affects hunters who participate in deer hunting during the firearms season, as it would change the legally permitted timeframe for taking deer with firearms. The amendment would update the current provision (which currently allows firearms hunting from the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November through December 15) but does not specify the exact new dates in the excerpt.
