Michigan HB6008 establishes an open season for gray wolf hunting and trapping.

Michigan HB6008 amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to authorize the establishment of an open season for gray wolf hunting and trapping. The legislation emphasizes the importance of managing wolf populations to stabilize game species and minimize negative encounters. The Department of Natural Resources is directed to establish annual hunting and trapping seasons once certain provisions of another act are operational. This measure aims to prevent wolves from threatening humans, livestock, and pets.
