Michigan has over tha last dozen or so years has sold more hunting licenses than any other state yet we have some of the most restrictive hunting laws on the books. If you were born after 1960 you MUST have a hunters safety course and if you kids are not 14 yrs or older they can only be with you while you hunt and not join in on the hunt. My family hunts and I want my kids to be a part of it, some familys do not hunt and thats fine with me, it is thier choice. What I want is to be able to take my kids and teach them how to hunt. the money generated by hunters is incredible, every firearm, bullet, bow, arrow, license has an extra tax that goes into the wildlife fund. That fund is for all the State and National forest land we have here and we have alot of it. Id guess it has to be amongst the tops in the country in sq miles of public land. As c132 said we also keep the wildlife in check.
If you are not a hunter this law will not effect you in any way shape or form, if you are a hunter this law will make family hunting time much better
