MINNESOTA: Lead Shot Ban Removed From Omnibus Bill! Earlier this week the Senate Omnibus Game and Fish Bill, was successfully amended to remove a lead ban that would have been detrimental to hunters and sportsman alike. Senate File 3385 originally contained a provision that would ban the use of lead shot for hunting small game on public lands in Minnesota. Lead alternatives are expensive and have reduced capabilities, and only increase wounding rates of game animals. There has also been no science-based evidence that lead shot has been a problem in Minnesota. Thanks to the efforts to all those members you called their State Senators and helped remove this unneeded lead ban. |

MINNESOTA: August 18th Deadline for Comments on Roads Plan for Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest: Monday is the deadline for public comments on a Travel Management Project that will determine what roads will be closed and what roads will remain open in this Minnesota forest. The plan could close up to 28% of forest roads. Two alternative approaches have been developed in addition to the "status quo." Comments should be sent to [email protected]. The document can be viewed at http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/cnnf/rec/tmr/index.html. For those who hunt in the Chequamegon-Nicolet, it is important that you examine the proposals to ensure that your ability to access your hunting area is not eliminated in Alternative 2 or Alternative 3. Please send your comments today! |
