Before we decide the sky is falling up there in MN . . . according to the report I read, which references statements from the MN DNR Chief of Wildlife Management, the ban would start with state-managed land--but only in agricultural areas. Aimed mostly at pheasant hunters. Could eventually include all land, including private, IN AGRICULTURAL AREAS.
But he added that it's unlikely it would apply to grouse or other hunting in the northern forested part of the state.
Looks like even in MN, smallbores shooting lead will remain good to go for grouse and woodcock hunters.
