The Associated Press Published Apr 11, 2013 11:45AM MDT Lansing, Mich • A state Senate panel has voted to let the Michigan Natural Resources Commission decide which animals can be hunted, which could render meaningless a proposed referendum on wolf hunting.

Opponents have gathered petition signatures for a 2014 statewide vote that could overturn the measure. But a bill approved Thursday by a committee of the R... ...

Utah went from a five-region general season deer hunt in 2011 to a 30-unit system last fall. Although it had nothing to do with the change, hunters killed nearly 6,500 more deer in 2012 than the 18,929 taken in 2011. State wildlife biologists believe the increase was due to the light winter of 2011-12 that led to more deer overall last fall and snow late in the general season that... ...
