Concerned Citizens,

At 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 17, the first step towards returning management of Michigan’s wolf population to state wildlife officials will be taken. It’s crucial that we, as hunters and conservationists, stand together and show strong support for the designation of wolves as a game animal.


The Senate Natural Resources committee will hold a hearing on the establishment of a hunting and/or trapping season for wolves. This is a move that Michigan United Conservation Clubs strongly supports and is necessary to ensure that sound, science-based wildlife management practices are in place in Michigan.


Rep. Matt Huuki, a Republican from the Houghton area, introduced House Bill 5834 which would designate wolves as a game animal, opening the door for sensible, science-based wildlife management of Michigan’s wolf population. Wednesday's Senate hearing is expected to produce a companion bill on the Senate side.

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!

Michigan United Conservation Clubs will testify at the hearing in support of the bill. We need to bring the voice of as many hunters and conservationists to the hearing as possible. Anti-hunting groups have already vowed to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to prevent any state management from occurring. The time to act is now and your voice is needed.
