Know the System.
Shape The Outcome.
The
Law
Proposal G of 1996 was a Michigan ballot initiative that established a framework for wildlife management based on scientific principles. Approved by voters, it limited the ability of the legislature to directly regulate wildlife issues such as hunting seasons and species management, assigning those decisions to the Michigan Natural Resources Commission.
Proposal G amended Michigan law to require that the Natural Resources Commission make decisions on the taking of game species based on principles of sound science. It also mandated public involvement and transparency in decision-making.
If we're not holding that line--we're giving it away
The
Reality
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources brings the science. They provide research, data and recommendations.
The Michigan Natural Resources Commission makes the decisions.
And the people who show up...
They influence both.
The
Problem
Too many hunters.....
-
Show up after decisions are made
-
Rely on hearsay instead of facts
-
Stay silent when it matters most
Meanwhile...
Decisions move forward anyway.
The
Action
Be in the room.
Send the email.
Know the data.
Or accept the outcome.
