Personally, I do not have a problem with rifles statewide, and if it passes, I’ll probably start carrying a .270 during deer season. That said, I understand the concerns of folks who are cautious about the idea. My firm take, however, is that a change needs to be statewide, not county-by-county.
In today’s hot political climate, I understand the desire, even the need, to maintain civil decorum. There were two law enforcement officers on hand presumably to help preserve that objective. And I’ve covered cringey public meetings that go to the other extreme. But a meeting that doesn’t engage the public is nothing more than a sideshow that serves only to check a policy-making box.
European carp have been around a century-plus and remain our most destructive aquatic invasive species. As bad as the market is for Euro-carp, it’s worse for silvers and bigheads.

DNR Assistant Commissioner Bob Meier said the agency is neutral on the concept right now and wants to review any bill that emerges.
Minnesota DNR Enforcement Operations Manager Maj. Robert Gorecki says two state statutes apply to the scenario of hunters taking game with the help of cellular trail cameras.
Combined with the growing use of drones, the DNR is crafting new language – which might see action this 2023 legislative session – to more clearly articulate what’s illegal with the use of this modern technology.
