Minnesota Bill to Legalize Eating Beaver
AmmoLand ^ | February 25, 2025 | Dean Weingarten

According to startribune.com, about five months ago, the Minnesota House-Senate conference committee inserted a ban on eating beavers into the 2024 omnibus environment and natural resources bill. The ban only applies to nuisance beavers taken because they are doing damage. Beavers taken as part of the normal trapping season may legally be consumed by humans.

Landowners who have beavers that are doing damage to their property do not need a permit to take beavers to stop the damage. From dnr.state.min.us:

You can take some animals which are normally protected by Minnesota Statute without a license or permit if they are doing damage. If you are the landowner, manager or occupant of the property where the animal is causing damage, you can take the following animals.

The list includes beavers. State Senator Grant Hauschild has introduced a bill to rectify the beaver-eating ban, which has become the subject of considerable humor and jokes across the country. From kstp.com:

A bill introduced by DFL State Senator Grant Hauschild aims to answer at least one of those questions by once again allowing Minnesotans to eat any nuisance beavers they killed.

Here is the proposed legislation. The only change noticed by this correspondent is the proposed removal of the prohibition on human consumption of beaver at the end of the bill.

A few months ago, the Minnesota legislature made the human consumption of beaver illegal, but only in certain circumstances.

I’ve never had a notion of a “nuisance beaver.”
