From firearms to compounds bows to tree stands, hundreds of hunting and fishing items confiscated during game violations in Minnesota will be auctioned by the state April 29 at an auction site in Zimmerman.
Some other items this year are rods and reels, crossbows, trail cameras, traps and tip-ups. The live event happens at Hiller Auction Service. A preview of the items is from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. April 28 and on the morning of the auction, which begins at 9 a.m. All firearms buyers must pass a background check.
For a list of the items and more information, go to bit.ly/zimauction. Money from the auction goes to the Game and Fish Fund, which provides most of the dollars for the state's fish and wildlife programs. The last auction was in 2014.
