Brochure gives info about ATV use

DNR Staff Report

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resourceshas a new brochure that discusses changes that will affect the use of vehicles (ranging from highway licensed cars and trucks to all-terrain vehicles or ATVs) for hunting on public lands across the state.
The brochures will be mailed to about 130,000 people who have a registered ATV in the state and also purchased a big game hunting license last year. Brochures will also be available at the DNR Building at the Minnesota State Fair in St. Paul, Aug. 21 - Sept. 1.
Using ATVs while hunting big game is a privilege, and the responsibility belongs to each hunter to protect that privilege, said Forrest Boe, DNR Trails and Waterways director. Many big game hunters who use ATVs do not consider themselves to be ATV riders; however, they are.
Minnesotas hunting and trapping regulations as well as Off-Highway Vehicle regulations are available at the DNR Web site and at licensing centers. For complete regulations, consult the state statutes and rules.
