DNR to auction gear for fishing, hunting

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has scheduled two public auctions of confiscated fishing, hunting, and trapping equipment. The auctions, which will be held online Aug. 26 and Oct. 7, include equipment that was confiscated following serious game and fish violations. A list of equipment to be auctioned will be available about a month before each auction at hillerauction.com. Online bidding for the auctions begins Aug. 23 (first auction) and Oct. 4 (second auction). Onsite inspection is available.

All equipment will be sold as-is. Background checks are required of anyone who successfully bids for a firearm
