Michigan legislative action thread
My husband stopped hunting up there about 10 years ago because the wolves had decimated the herds.
This would not be popular
That would be a shame, but I know this past winter was brutal for a lot of wild animals. Part of modern hunting is an effort to thin the herd — it’s part of good conservation. But if the herd has already been thinned, the hunting may cause problems. I’m hoping the officials make a wise, well-informed decision, and not some stupid ideological decision.
Damn Global Warming
Our group stopped hunting in northern Wisconsin because you couldn’t get a doe tag. Since we had difficulty finding bucks we decided to skip it this last year.
Harsh winters were hard on the deer. Wolves also took a large number. It also didn’t help that we had to hunt in -10F temperatures last year. It took a bit of the fun out of it.
I live in Upstate New York. If Michigan would pay the freight I think we could ship about 25,000 white tails and never miss a single one.
We’ll be glad to send you some from Pennsylvania.
Yesterday I saw four walking down a city street, less than five miles from Downtown Pittsburgh.
I live in the UP of MI, there a plenty of deer in the area I reside in. I count 25 every dusk gorging themselves in the field. Also i am tired of the deer turds left in my yard and the damage done to to my Weeping Norway Pine.
The population may be a bit low but if they don’t cull them this year even with some bag limits, they’ll be begging people to help them next year..
