MN DNR To Auction Off Confiscated Guns, Fishing Items, And More

ST. Paul, MN — The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is conducting public auctions of confiscated fishing, hunting, and trapping equipment.

Two separate auctions will be held online on Aug. 26 and on Oct. 7. The equipment was confiscated following serious game and fish violations, the DNR said.

All equipment will be sold as-is, including all defects or faults, known or unknown, the agency notes. All sales are final, and background checks are required of anyone who successfully bids for a firearm.

Revenue from confiscated equipment auctions will help fund the DNR fish and wildlife management and law enforcement efforts.
