No Straight-Wall Rifle Cartridges in Zone III This Year

By Glen Wunderlich

After having the chance to participate in the legislative process on behalf of House Bill 5249 and giving testimony in its support, I really thought the bill would pass this year.  Being able to use straight-wall cartridges in rifles in the southern “shotgun” zone seemed to be a  no-brainer.  I know I am with thousands of ethical sportsmen who are disappointed in the news, but here is the latest status direct from Matt Lori’s (R-District 59) office based on my request for information:

Dear Mr. Wunderlich,
Thank you for your email to Representative Lori, which will be drawn to his attention.
 At this late stage in the Legislative Session, it does not seem likely that the Senate is going to move the bill forward.  The bill is not on the most recent agenda for the Outdoor Recreation and Tourism’s next meeting.  Without that movement forward it is unlikely that the bill will be back to the House for a final vote during “lame duck”.

 Representative Lori very much appreciates your support, and will likely re-introduce the bill next year.
 Sincerely
Susan Martin Chief of Staff District 59

Muzzleloading Tips

By Glen Wunderlich

With the close of regular firearms deer season, the herd will have an opportunity to return to less-pressured activity before the advent of muzzleloading season.  Of course, archery hunters have no waiting period, but relatively few of them are willing to brave the oft-harsh elements of December.  On the other hand, muzzleloading participation continues to rise, largely based on refined equipment available to deer hunters.

Modern in-line muzzleloaders have paved the way for thousands of Michigan deer hunters to remain afield for some late season action.  In Zone III, the season runs from December 7th through the 23rd – the most generous in the state.

Here are a few thoughts to get the job done. Read more
