DNR allows supplemental feeding of deer in southern U.P. counties with permit

Due to heavy accumulated snowfall, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources will allow supplemental feeding of deer in the southern Upper Peninsula by permitted groups and individuals beginning Wednesday, Jan. 15.

Supplemental feeding is only allowed in the southern U.P. during years when accumulated early winter snowfall reaches a depth that is predictive of winter stress, while permitted feeding is allowed annually from January 15 to May 15 in the northern counties found within the Lake Superior snowbelt.

EZ Access™ Gear Introduces the Snap Shot™ Shotgun Sight

Drop your tom with ease this spring with the innovative new Snap Shot™ Sight. You won’t find anything else like it anywhere. Whether you run and gun or sit in a blind, the Snap Shot increases your chances of bagging your bird.
The Snap Shot easily snaps on almost any shotgun barrel, whether it’s a vent rib or smooth bore. The Snap Shot’s patented design enhances any existing sight system or works great alone. This unique sight, available in black or camo, provides instant target acquisition. If it’s in the sight, it’s history.
Similar to a scope, the Snap Shot forces you to keep your head down on the barrel and the gun up, but its quicker and much less expensive than a scope because no magnification is involved.

HSUS Solicitation Campaigns a Net Negative for Animals

This from www.HumaneWatch.org…
In November the Massachusetts attorney general’s office released a report of professional solicitation campaigns conducted in the state. Charitable solicitation has been in the news recently after a report last year fingering the 50 worst charities in America based on 10 years’ worth of telemarketing campaign data.

According to the report, telemarketers kept two-thirds of the money that Massachusetts residents gave, or $175.7 million out of $266.6 million. In other words, according to the report, a good deal of charity fundraising actually “benefits principally the owners and staff of for-profit professional solicitors.” Read more

Michigan Fisheries Division staffers talk Michigan ice fishing

Michigan anglers didn’t have a lot choice about how they practiced their sport in early 2014. With arctic weather leaving most of the state’s lakes – as well as many of its rivers – frozen, it’s been fish through the ice or stay home and think about fishing.
Ice fishing in Michigan is a time-honored tradition. Lucky for beginning anglers, it's easy to get started.Fortunately, getting started ice fishing is relatively simple. Anglers need just three basic pieces of equipment – something to make a hole with, something to clear the slush from the hole, and something to fish with – and they’re in business.
The first two are simple. Either an auger (a corkscrew-like cutting device) or a spud (an over-sized chisel) will get you through the ice. And a simple slush scoop – something that looks like a ladle with holes in the cup – will get that job done. Read more
