Taking feral swine causing damage authorized.

HF 1298 amends Minnesota law to allow landowners or their agents to take feral swine causing damage to crops, property, or livestock without a hunting license. It permits this action on land the person owns or occupies, provided they report the take to wildlife officials within 48 hours. The bill specifies that landowners must follow standard wildlife reporting rules (like notifying conservation officers) but do not need to surrender the swine to the state. This directly affects property owners facing feral swine damage, updating existing provisions to clarify their authority under current wildlife regulations.
