THE DANGERS OF HB 5108 - MARK SAK
State Representative Jason Morgan (D) 23rd District has introduced the what is also known as the "Protect Michigan Fishing Act."
A bill that would allow a large increase in commercial fishing in all of our Great Lakes and also be allowed to target walleye, perch, tout and other species.
The bill would jeopardize the health of a 2,3 billion dollar recreational fishing industry and greatly benefit the very small commercial industry. It would also create a large gap in oversight, with the limited force of MI DNR Officers that we already have.

SPORTSMAN AGAINST HUNGER - DEAN HALL
As we all know, we are suffering the worst inflation that this country has seen since the 1970's. 
Everything is through the roof and that is making it tough on families to buy the essential groceries that are needed. 
That means more hunters will be relying on their skills to fill the freezer while others will depend on the kindness of hunters to help donate venison to Michigan Sportsman Against Hunger.
Dean Hall explains how you can help.
