Upon talking with several long-time Lino Lakes residents who live within the closed area, I found that because of problems they residents attended several council meetings and requested the ordinance change which was accepted by the council in 1984. Currently, there are some privately owned properties in that area which could be archery hunted at the property if the City chose to amend the current ordinance to allow archery hunting in compliance with other the archery ordinance restrictions. However, this is not a recommendation to change the firearm restriction to this part of the ordinance. MBRB 2013 Controlled Hunt Options In speaking with a hunt coordinator with the Metro Bow hunters Resource Base (MBRB), I learned that they would likely be able to conduct hunts in Lino Lakes during the fall of 2013 if they were requested to do so. Upon reviewing the map of property owned by the City of Lino Lakes, three parcels of land were identified as being large enough to safely and productively hold controlled archery deer hunts through the MBRB. The first property is north of the 8100 block of Diane St. and west of the 8200 block of Lake Dr. This parcel is 17.6 acres in size and would allow MBRB hunters access from Diane St. This area is somewhat restrictive to hunters because of the distance requirement in our archery ordinance. However, MBRB hunters would be able to hunt the northwestern portion of this parcel and still be in compliance with the ordinance.
