HF 3837 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Free angling, deer, and small game licenses provided to residents age 65 or over.

This bill would provide free hunting and fishing licenses to Minnesota residents aged 65 and older. Under the new provision, eligible residents would receive a free permanent angling license and annual licenses for deer and small game without paying any fees. The law states that a driver's license or state ID card is sufficient proof of age and residency to obtain these licenses at any licensing agent location. This change directly affects senior citizens who wish to participate in hunting and fishing activities in Minnesota.
