It looks increasingly like Michigan voters will not get to decide whether or not wolves can be hunted in the Upper Peninsula. The state House has approved a bill that would let the Natural Resources Commission decide which species can be hunted. The Gongwer News Service says supporters of hunting say that’s the best way to control the wolf population.
Hunting opponents have gathered signatures to get the issue on the ballot. They need at least 162,000 valid signatures but collected about 250,000. But the bill that now goes back to the Senate for consideration of minor changes would block such a referendum.
