Experience that Counts
Minnesota is proud of its tradition of
being one of the premier sportsmen's states in the nation. Our firm has
had extensive experience in issues involving wildlife, licenses,
habitat, and sportsmen's access to important hunting and fishing sites.
Fines,
Confiscations and Restitution Costs
The Legislature has broadened DNR's
authority to impose greater fines, to confiscate boats and gear, and to
impose wildlife restitution costs on sportsmen who are alleged to have
violated the law. Hunting and fishing today involve greater financial
risks to the sportsmen than ever before.
License
Revocation
The law has also been broadened to
forfeit the hunter or fisherman's right to hunt or fish for two to
three years after certain violations.A DNR ticket can cause a lot more
pain and inconvenience for a sportsman than it did a few years ago.
Wildlife Industries
Trappers,
guides,
taxidermists
and others who depend on game and fish activity
have seen increased regulations and DNR enforcement activity. Sportsmen
and sports business persons need to be aware of the new rules, and if
they are accused of a violation, they should seek legal advice.
