Sportsmen Await Impact of Election |
 Special Report by the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance
With the election of a new President and Congress, this is an important time for sportsmen to watch and remain engaged by talking to their individual elected representatives. It is also important that sportsmen understand that while policy made in Washington, D.C. can affect hunting, fishing, and trapping; policies with the most impact originate in individual state capitols.
Preliminary results show that out of 11 gubernatorial races, only one changed political parties. This indicates a remarkable level of stability at the state government level.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources this year adopted a ban on baiting in the state’s Lower Peninsula following the discovery of one deer with Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in a privately owned facility in Kent County. The baiting ban was initially imposed on Aug. 26 as a six-month preventative measure, but Ingham County Circuit Judge Joyce Draganchuk upheld the ban last month which has allowed DNR authorities to extend the ban indefinitely.
The decision was a blow for farmers and store owners who sued because the financial hardship the ban created. As a result, Michigan hunters are now learning to switch hunting methods and Michigan farmers are left ‘holding the bag’ on up to a million dollars in unsold produce
