MN DNR Confiscated Firearm TIP Auction
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has scheduled two public auctions for confiscated fishing, hunting and trapping equipment. The auctions, which will be held online Aug. 31 and Sept. 28, include equipment that was confiscated following serious game and fish violations.
Following are additional key dates:
- A list of equipment to be auctioned will be available about a month before each auction at the Hiller Auction Service website (hillerauction.com).
- The bidding catalog for each auction will be available at the Hiller Auction Service website on Aug. 27 and Sept. 24. The catalog will include a written description and photos of each item.
- Online bidding for the auctions begins Aug. 28 for the first auction and Sept. 25 for the second auction. Onsite inspection is available at Hiller Auction Service in Zimmerman on Aug. 28 and Sept. 25 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- The auctions will begin closing at 5 p.m. on Aug. 31 and Sept. 28.
All equipment will be sold as-is, including all defects or faults, known or unknown. Once they’ve been purchased, items cannot be returned. Background checks are required for anyone who successfully bids on a firearm.
Revenue from confiscated equipment auctions goes into the Game and Fish Fund, which is the DNR’s primary fund for delivering fish and wildlife management and law enforcement.
