Yesterday, at the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) meeting, MUCC achieved victory for Proposal G and the scientific management of our natural resources: a commitment from the NRC on the reinstatement of the year-round coyote hunting season.The NRC unanimously passed a resolution that said the following:
“The Michigan Natural Resources Commission is committed to enacting a regulation for Michigan citizens to take coyotes year-round on public and private land through a combination of hunting, trapping, and lethal take of nuisance and damaging animals; and that the Michigan Natural Resources Commission is committed to acting on this matter before next regular furbearer regulation cycle in the Wildlife Conservation Order in 2026.”
MUCC’s mission is to unite citizens to conserve, protect and enhance Michigan’s natural resources and outdoor heritage – and today we lived that mission.
The commission has made clear to the conservationists of Michigan that they will fix the 2024 commission’s error, and the responsibility now rests with all of us to hold them to their word.
Through the continued efforts to elevate sportsmen’s and sportswomen’s voices to the NRC, MUCC has worked tirelessly over the last 15 months to achieve this win for sound scientific management and the protection of our outdoor heritage.
