White Man Pummeled to Near Death by Angry Blacks in Detroit

An unfortunate accident involving a white driver from a suburb of Detroit and a black youngster, who had blindly stepped into oncoming traffic, turned vicious.  A group of black people formed quickly and attacked the white driver coming to the aid of the youngster.  Not only did the driver do the right thing by obeying the law and stopping, he got rewarded with a beating and robbery of his wallet, cash, and credit cards.  The driver, Steve Utash, clings to life.  Recovering is the injured 10-year-old David Harris.

Nebraska Legislature Upholds Governor’s Veto of An Unjustified Attempt To Ban Mountain Lion Hunting

On April 2,  sportsmen-friendly legislators upheld Governor Heineman’s veto of Nebraska L 671, and, in so doing, protected the future of successful science-based natural resource management, while also upholding the integrity of Nebraska’s state constitution. While Nebraska L 671 would have done nothing to help the mountain lion population or any other species of wildlife in the state, it would have undermined the future of hunting and fishing in America’s heartland.

Help conserve jack pine forest – the Kirtland warbler’s paradise – by planting trees May 3

Looking for an opportunity to get outside and give back to Michigan’s natural resources? On Saturday, May 3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., volunteers will gather in Grayling to plant an acre of jack pine seedlings.

Kirtland's warblerThe jack pine forest provides the primary nesting habitat for the rarest member of the wood warbler family, the Kirtland’s warbler. Very restrictive habitat requirements result in nests in just a few counties in Michigan’s northern Lower and Upper peninsulas, in Wisconsin and the province of Ontario and, currently, nowhere else on Earth. Kirtland’s warblers are ground-nesters that prefer jack pine stands more than 80 acres in size, where the nest can be concealed in mixed vegetation of grasses and shrubs below the living branches of 5- to 20-year-old trees.

Mecosta County Martiny State Game Area benefits from Michigan’s new hunting and fishing license structure

In Mecosta County, acres of public land at Martiny State Game Area are being utilized to their fullest potential through management activities made possible by Michigan’s new hunting and fishing license structure, which took effect earlier this year.
Under the new license structure, one big change is evident when hunters buy their first license of the year. A one-time base license, which includes a small game license, must be purchased before hunters can buy any other hunting license. The base license cost varies based upon age and residency; what doesn’t vary is the investment (from base license-generated revenue) in Michigan’s wildlife habitat.
“We are doing some really exciting work at the Martiny State Game Area,” said DNR wildlife biologist Pete Kailing. “Timber sales are the best way to hit the reset button on a forest, which really maximizes the wildlife value to the area.” Read more
