They were never supposed to make things better for us deplorables.milton fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04222904984648426127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-22928842439367742492019-11-06T16:52:28.980-05:002019-11-06T16:52:28.980-05:00I do not have much confidence in the DNR.

They just came out a couple months ago, and said that they confirm 40 sightings of cougars in Michigan, only 1 of which was in the lower peninsula. <br />Just a couple of years back, my son walked within 10 yards of a cougar that was stalking a wild turkey, near Hesperia. Another friend has a trail cam picture of a cougar seen near Bitely. My son actually went inside, got his California born wife, and a gun, and took her out to see the cougar, which had not moved. When they got close, it finally took off. I of course warned him to not do anything like that again. But the DNR for some reason wants to deny that there are cougars in the lower peninsula. I suspect it has something to do with tourism. They said the same thing about black bears, when there have been black bears near Hesperia since I graduated high school from there, in 1978. Now, there are many of them in the lower peninsula, as sighted by friends of mine. Yet the DNR says that they are relatively rare. Politics should never get in the way of wild animals and the public safety, especially when the animals are those that have been rare in the past.pigpen51https://www.blogger.com/profile/01036907880805485560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-910121205325058472019-11-06T15:58:46.342-05:002019-11-06T15:58:46.342-05:00Good to see them working to improve the law. prop...Good to see them working to improve the law. proposal G was originally passed to stop the anti-hunting crowd from banning hunting by referendum, and put it in the hand of what were supposed to be a responsible sane and science-based commission rather than by emotionally driven antis. It was not a complete success but not a bad start.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146728790019377401noreply@blogger.com
