Elk taking prohibition with the exception of causing damage provision

This bill prohibits taking elk without a license, removing an existing exception that allowed elk hunting when elk were causing property damage. It directly affects hunters who previously could take elk without a license for damage-related reasons, requiring all elk take to be conducted under a valid elk license ($287 for a party of two). The bill amends statutes to clarify that elk hunting requires a license except as specifically provided (though no new exceptions are added), repealing prior provisions that permitted damage-related elk taking. This change standardizes elk hunting regulations under the licensing system, affecting all elk hunters and wildlife management enforcement in Minnesota.
