The latest bill by Gov. Mark Dayton includes the following provisions:
Removes the 16-foot height restriction for deer stands.
Makes it illegal for a parent or guardian to knowingly allow a minor to hunt in violation of game and fish laws.
Gives a motorist who hits and kills a deer on a road the first right to the carcass.
Retains controversial antler-point restrictions for deer hunters in southeastern Minnesota for two more years but then requires legislative approval for any future antler-point restrictions.
Allows counties and towns to offer bounties on coyotes.
Removes a requirement that Minnesota's waterfowl season begins the Saturday nearest Oct. 1. That means the DNR could open this year's season on Sept. 24.
Removes the 9 a.m. duck opener restriction, meaning hunting may start a half-hour before sunrise.
Mandates that money raised by the $5 state walleye stamp be used only to stock walleyes bought from the private sector.
