a snippet of a quote from the hunter, probably good adviced for our I-5 voting folks also....

While chatting calmly and appearing low-key, the hunter admitted satisfaction in participating in Michigan's first hunt.

“I’m excited,” he said. “It may never happen again. I might not ever have another chance, if voters have their way. When this goes to a vote of the people, people below the bridge shouldn’t have a say, in my opinion. They don’t have to deal with them like these folks up here.”

They were in the fray a while ago. I believe they've been handing out permits to land owners so they can shoot them if they were caught killing livestock and have done so for more than a year or two. The state has also been running its own cull.

How Michigan is determining how many to hunt and whether to hunt them is actually based on some good science and is practical. They took the emotion out of it for all parties involved.
It will be a shame if that gets undermined as a result of an initiative there

It's unfortunate that when the initiative goes out to everyone that there will be more of an impact from Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Grand Rapids than all those places on the UP.

Crying shame, no different than King and Pierce Counties deciding how a trapper up in the Wedge can do business.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.
