After split public input, board posts shotgun-only deer-hunting ordinance for more comment
Summary
Following nearly split public hearing input on rifle vs. shotgun use, the Nobles County Board voted to post a shotgun-only ordinance for additional public comment and feedback.
A public hearing on deer hunting and firearms showed nearly even division among commenters on whether rifles or shotguns should be permitted; one petitioner supported prior shotgun rules. The board voted to post a shotgun-only ordinance for additional public comment, directing further outreach before any final action (motion by Bob Paplow; seconded by Robert S. Demuth).
Board materials note that comments were received both in person and by mail; the posting is intended to gather more public feedback before the board considers adopting an ordinance limiting deer hunting to shotguns.
