Michigan’s NRC to Rescind Coyote Protections

This from MUCC:

Yesterday, at the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) meeting, MUCC achieved victory for Proposal G and the scientific management of our natural resources: a commitment from the NRC on the reinstatement of the year-round coyote hunting season.The NRC unanimously passed a resolution that said the following:

“The Michigan Natural Resources Commission is committed to enacting a regulation for Michigan citizens to take coyotes year-round on public and private land through a combination of hunting, trapping, and lethal take of nuisance and damaging animals; and that the Michigan Natural Resources Commission is committed to acting on this matter before next regular furbearer regulation cycle in the Wildlife Conservation Order in 2026.”

MUCC’s mission is to unite citizens to conserve, protect and enhance Michigan’s natural resources and outdoor heritage – and today we lived that mission.

The commission has made clear to the conservationists of Michigan that they will fix the 2024 commission’s error, and the responsibility now rests with all of us to hold them to their word.

Through the continued efforts to elevate sportsmen’s and sportswomen’s voices to the NRC, MUCC has worked tirelessly over the last 15 months to achieve this win for sound scientific management and the protection of our outdoor heritage.

MOJO Big Blade In Stock and Shipping to Dealers Now

The concept of the spinning wing decoy (SWD) was developed in California in the 1990s and started with a single large blade mounted into a U-frame and turned by a DC motor mounted to one of the vertical legs of the U, with the blade attached to the frame by an axle. They were generally referred to as the “Goal Post Decoys,” and they created a phenomenon in the duck-hunting world.

Since then, the evolution of the SWD has been toward a life-like bird decoy with a pair of smaller wings. Many hunters today, especially guides who hunt every day, have learned the single big blade has advantages over the pair of smaller wings; among them, it provides for much more long-range attraction and gives the ducks a new “look”.

NOW! From popular demand, MOJO® introduces the MOJO® Big Blade, a patent pending decoy having all of the attractions of the original goal post decoy, but with modern technology that renders it faster, smoother, quieter and considerably more user friendly, with the following features: Read more

SAF, Partners Secure Historic Victory in Ninth Circuit

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners secured a major victory Thursday after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a mandate overturning California’s “one-gun-per-month” restriction, setting a historic precedent.

In June, a unanimous decision from the Ninth Circuit ruled in favor of SAF and its partners in Nguyen v. Bonta, SAF’s challenge to California’s one-gun-per-month gun rationing law. SAF is joined in the case by the Firearms Policy Coalition and San Diego County Gun Owners PAC, two FFL gun dealers, and six private citizens including Michelle Nguyen, for whom the case is named.

“Today’s mandate issued by the Ninth Circuit marks the first time the court has issued a final decision striking down a law for infringing on the Second Amendment,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “Between Heller and Bruen, every case heard by a panel which concluded the law was contrary to the Second Amendment was reheard en banc by the court and ultimately upheld. This is a historic victory for Second Amendment rights in the Ninth Circuit and marks a measurable defeat for Governor Newsom and the legislature’s attempts to curtail the exercise of the right to keep and bear arms in California.” Read more

AZGFD Urges Vigilance During Canine Distemper Outbreak

Virus detected in coyotes, foxes in Maricopa County; pets should be fully vaccinated

The Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) has been receiving an increasing number of reports in recent weeks of sick or disoriented coyotes within residential neighborhoods, parks and green spaces.

Laboratory testing has confirmed the diagnosis of canine distemper, a highly contagious and often fatal viral disease that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal and nervous systems of both domestic and wild animals, primarily canids.

While distemper cannot infect humans, it poses a serious risk to unvaccinated dogs and certain wildlife species. Pet owners should ensure their animals are fully vaccinated, keep dogs on a leash, and avoid contact with wildlife.

Infected coyotes and foxes may display unusual behavior such as a lack of fear toward humans, stumbling, seizures, or discharge from the eyes and nose. The virus spreads through direct contact, airborne droplets, and shared food or water sources. It’s important to note that canine distemper cannot be distinguished from rabies based on clinical symptoms. To that point, it’s important to avoid approaching or touching wildlife, and report any sick or dead animals to AZGFD.
