2011 Senate Bill 207: Let children hunt in “mentored youth hunting program” (House Roll Call 239)
facebook  twitter 

Passed 86 to 22 in the House on June 28, 2011, to allow a child less than age 10 to hunt if accompanied by an individual qualified under a new government “mentored youth hunting program” the bill would establish. A “mentor” would have to be at least age 21 and have previous hunting experiencehave or have taken a government-approved “hunter safety” class. The bill would also eliminate the minimum hunting age, and establish modest hunting license fees for children less than age 10.

 Adults having to take another hunter safety course is insane.These legislators think the adults in this state are stupid and are willing to treat them like the children, who are required to take a hunter safety class, like I took 39 years ago.I would have to take a class after 39 years of hunting? Is this communist China?

Not only is this a non-issue, it sets a really dangerous precedent.  Now, whenever parents do something the state doesn't like, they can be sent to "rehabilitation" classes to either make sure they don't do it again, or start doing it in the first place.  Very Orwellilan, along the whole Hilary Clinton line of "It Takes a Village" to raise a child.  Don't even START on DHS taking that Ann Arbor prof's kid away from him because he mistakenly gave him Mike's Hard Lemonade!  When the Bolsheviks at the ACLU litigate AGAINST DHS on something like this, you KNOW something's seriously wrong with how the state views parenting!

I agree.  The legislature keeps "borrowing trouble" to avoid dealing with the real issues facing Michigan.  They need to wake up and make some serious changes.  Frankly, I'm ready to vote for anyone who's never held office before to get rid of the "bad blood" that's in office now (Republican and Democrat alike).
