LANSING, MI Michigan Senate Republicans have advanced a resolution that urges wildlife officials to hold a gray wolf hunting and trapping season in the Upper Peninsula this year following the loss of endangered species protections.
The non-binding resolution, S.R. 15, is sponsored by Sen. Ed McBroom, a lawmaker from the western U.P. who chaired a Wednesday, Feb. 24 hearing in which he criticized state officials for delaying the decision on another hunt until mid-2022.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) says it’ll take until at least next June to update the state’s 2015 wolf management plan and hold a public opinion survey. The DNR wants to finish those before deciding on another hunt.
