Michigan’s NRC has been considering partially closing year-round coyote hunting since early 2024. In a unanimous vote on , MUCC members made clear that the organization does not support closing the season and that there is no biological evidence to support such a closure.
MUCC Chief Executive Officer Amy Trotter said the organization’s stance on closing the coyote season is “abundantly” clear.
“No scientific evidence has been presented to justify the closure of the coyote hunting season, and the NRC has an obligation to oppose this part of the order in accordance with Proposal G and the authority it provides to them,” Trotter said. “If enacted, it will make the fight to defend lethal wildlife management that much harder.”
