Midnight, June 30th is the cut off for the purchase of fishing licenses, so says the state Minnesota, but the DNR will still catch you if you are over the limit. Whats funny is the FAQ that the DNR has put out. Fishing is of course number 2 and 3 on the FAQ. This says quite alot about Minnesotans and what matters to them.
Here is the FAQ:
2. Am I still able to purchase a fishing license?
No. The sale of all fishing, hunting and trapping licenses, including online and telephone sales, will be suspended as of midnight, June 30. Likewise, no boat, ATV or other licenses will be sold.
All natural resource and license laws will remain in effect during a shutdown and will be enforced.
3. What are the implications for a shutdown to anglers?
Licensed anglers can continue to fish. All existing rules and regulations will be in force. A mid-season walleye fishing regulation adjustment on Lake Mille Lacs will be delayed or cancelled depending upon the length of the shutdown.
I understand the need for the DNR to enforce fishing laws but wouldn't selling licenses bring in much needed revenue for the state?
