Wolf Hunt Ballot Signatures

A group which supports wolf hunting in Michigan has submitted more than 374,000 petition signatures to the Michigan Secretary of State, in order to ensure that wolf hunting will continue in Michigan. The group Citizens for Professional Wildlife Management, says its ballot proposal will ask voters to put game species decision in the hands of the governor-appointed Natural Resources Commission, and not the Michigan Legislature. The current makeup of the NRC has supported the idea of a controlled wolf hunt. Supporters say the NRC should make such decisions because they have expertise in the area.
