HB 5249 Passes House Vote, Moves to Senate

Michigan House Bill 5249 that would allow the use of certain specific rifles during the regular firearm deer season in the area that is currently restricted to only shotguns, muzzleloaders, and certain types of pistols has passed a House vote and has been referred to committee of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism.  From there the bill heads to the Senate, and if passed, to Governor Snyder for signature.

To date there has been little resistance to the notion of using relatively low-powered, straight-wall centerfire rifles in Zone III.  When compared to modern shotguns and modern in-line muzzleloaders, this “new” brand of caliber pales.  Once again, Republican leadership is on the verge of restoring some of our lost rights, which were originally taken from us on strictly arbitrary reasons based on misconceptions.

USSAF Files to Intervene in Wisconsin Wolf Hunt Lawsuit

Today, the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation along with Safari Club International, the Wisconsin Bear Hunters Association, and the United Sportsmen of Wisconsin filed a motion to intervene in a Wisconsin lawsuit seeking to stop the use of dogs in the state’s wolf hunt.

The lawsuit, filed by a coalition of Wisconsin humane societies and several individuals against the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), claims that the use of dogs to hunt wolves violates the state’s animal cruelty law despite the fact that the animal cruelty law clearly states it does not apply to hunting.  The lawsuit also claims that the WDNR should have enacted strict rules on using dogs to pursue wolves.  These unnecessary restrictions would make it nearly impossible to effectively hunt wolves with dogs.
