That all changed, however, when a man named Charles Pillsbury came to Minnesota from New Hampshire. He was not rich when he came. He went to live with an uncle. Later, he and his uncle invested about $10,000 into a…

Homelessness is caused because there are not enough homeless shelters, the price of assisted living is expensive, and they need to support the veterans when they come back from serving. The number of…

the state of Minnesota is 10 crappies, 20 bluegills, and 20 perch. Despite previous surveys showing the current possession limits are okay, I think Minnesota should raise the panfish limit because some people rely on fish as a main source of food and income. Also, raising the limit would fix stunted sizes of panfish in many lakes across the state. Finally, raising the panfish limit would create a boost in the economy of the fishing industry. Despite the general census of Minnesota anglers who…

What if party hunting in Minnesota became illegal? Some hunters would be glad to have party hunting illegal. Many hunters want to have more deer and less hunters in the woods. Still others want to hunt in big parties and shoot all the deer. There is always an argument on banning party hunting in Minnesota. Because so many people who hunt in parties purchase a tag for non-hunters and just use it as an excuse to shoot more deer, party hunting should be eliminated. If Minnesota outlawed party…
