Minnesota legislators who care about fish, wildlife and other natural resources are poised to consider wolf hunting, lowering the daily limit for walleyes, and reining in wake boats during a five-month session expected to be dominated by fiscal matters and COVID-19 precautions.
Department of Natural Resources (DNR) officials will propose a new budget later this month and explain how last year's surge in fishing, boating, hiking, camping, trail riding, state park usage and increases in some types of hunting mattered to the agency's bottom line.
