Moving to MN - 04/27/21 10:13 PM
Hello everyone. I'm relatively new here - been lurking for a while but only recently made an account, and never posted. I thought this would be the best place to ask...
My wife and I are moving to Minnesota (Itasca county) this fall and I am trying to get everything figured out. Living in central Wisconsin my whole life, I have a WDNR hunter's education card from when I was a kid, and used that to get my CCW permit. I got into trapping recently and took the state's online trapper's education course.
From the sounds of it, I'll have to take some classes to get my MN CCW permit. Does anyone know if there is state reciprocity for hunter's education or trapper's education between Wi and Mn? Or will these be things I have to get "re-certified" for?
Any other advice/info on hunting, trapping, and living in northern Mn (is Itasca county considered "northern"?) would be appreciated as well. Thanks.
