Michigan wolves require population control, hunt supporters arguebit.ly/3dUzGosMichigan 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 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.In the meantime, state law allows the use of lethal force against wolves now to prevent them from killing dogs or livestock. While federally listed, wolves previously could only be legally killed in defense of human life in Michigan.McBroom, who lined up pro-hunt testimony from several hunting groups in the U.P., repeatedly questioned why the state’s plan must be updated before a new hunt and he panned an opinion survey as “foolish and unnecessary.”“With a stable population for 10 years and without threat to human life and with minimal livestock predations, what would be the incentive to have a hunt when it doesn’t appear that there are any objective issues with the wolf population as it stands?” Tamulevich said.Jeff Towner, a former U.S. Fish and Wildlife biologist from Negaunee, broke the chain of U.P. support versus downstate opposition by calling actions pushed in McBroom’s resolution “wholly unnecessary to the effective management of the gray wolf population.” ...
