Folks across Northern Minnesota, including Roseau and Lake of the Woods counties, have a chance to bid on equipment from the Minnesota DNR’s first online confiscated equipment auction of the year.

The DNR says bidding opens Friday, August 28, with the auction beginning to close Monday, August 31. The items were seized through DNR enforcement actions, and the bidding catalog and photos will be available starting Thursday at HillerAuction.com.

Online bidding opens August 28 and the auction starts closing August 31. If you want to see the items in person, they can be inspected at Hiller Auction Service in Zimmerman.

The DNR reminds buyers that anyone purchasing a firearm must pass a federal background check before taking possession.

A second DNR online auction is scheduled for late September. Find more on the DNR website.
