SF 1825 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Taking of elk causing damage without a permit permission

This bill allows landowners or occupants to kill elk causing property damage without a permit. It amends Minnesota law to specifically include elk under the existing provision for taking animals causing damage (previously covering animals like raccoons but not elk). Landowners may kill elk without a license, except using artificial lights during closed season or poison, and must notify a conservation officer within 24 hours of the kill. This directly affects Minnesotans with elk-related property damage on their land.
