Minnesota SF2720 mandates an open season for wolves to manage their population and reduce conflicts.

Minnesota SF2720 requires the commissioner to adopt a wolf management plan ensuring the long-term survival of wolves in Minnesota. The bill mandates an open season for wolves, beginning on the same day as the firearms deer-hunting season, and ending by January 31. The commissioner must consult with the commissioner of agriculture and the USDA before determining the season, restrictions, and other requirements. The goal is to minimize depredation of livestock and domestic pets, manage the ecological impact of wolves, and reduce conflicts between wolves and humans.
