ST. PAUL, Minn. - More than 300 bows, firearms and other pieces of equipment will be auctioned Saturday, Aug. 4 by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
All of the equipment was confiscated following serious game and fish violations.
"Some of them are first time offenders, some of them are repeat offenders," said Captain Alex Gutierrez with the DNR.
The auction includes 214 firearms, 59 bows and 47 other pieces of equipment, including deer stands, fishing poles, mounts and traps.
The outdoor auction is at Hiller Auction Service in Zimmerman at 10 a.m. All equipment will be sold as-is, including all defects or faults, known or unknown. Once they’ve been purchased, items cannot be returned. Background checks are required of anyone who purchases a firearm.
Revenue from confiscated equipment auctions goes into the Game and Fish Fund, which is the DNR’s primary fund supporting fish, wildlife and law enforcement programs.
