Crossbow hunting expiration date is deleted

Since 2023, state law has allowed a properly licensed person to take deer, bear, turkey, common carp, and native rough fish by crossbow during the respective archery seasons.

A new law makes the change permanent by removing a June 30, 2026, expiration date.

Rep. Josh Heintzeman (R-Nisswa) and Sen. Susan Pha (DFL-Brookyln Park) sponsor the law that took effect May 6, 2026.
